SUMMARY:Citizen Science Book Launch: Spéirscéalta/Stories of the Air
DESCRIPTION:The University of Galway Library is delighted to invite you to 
 celebrate the publication of Spéirscéalta – a collection of stories 
 that explores the air.\n\n \n\nIn conjunction with the Open Research Forum 
 (8 April)\, the book will be launched by Oscar Diaz\, the European Citizen 
 Science Ambassador for Ireland\, along with project lead Dr. Liz Coleman 
 (Physics)\, artist duo Paula McCloskey and Sam Vardy from a place of their 
 own\, and Dr. Mairéad Hurley (Trinity College Dublin). In addition to the 
 presentations\, there will also be a reading of new fiction written for 
 Spéirscéalta\, and we will enjoy live traditional music and light 
 refreshments.\n\n \n\n\n\nBetween 2021 and 2023\, the Stories of the Air 
 project led walks\, conversations\, performances\, and creative workshops 
 across Galway and Connemara\, discussing the air and collecting and 
 generating stories in Irish and English. Spéirscéalta\, the bilingual 
 project book\, captures those stories and brings together scientific data 
 and cultural reflections and folklore to explore the atmosphere.\n\n 
 \n\n\n\nWe will also hear about The Air We Share\, Dr. Coleman's current 
 project\, which makes the invisible visible\, by engaging with the issue of 
 air quality through artistic interventions\, citizen science\, and 
 community action in Westside\, Galway. Artists Paula McCloskey and Sam 
 Vardy from a place of their own are involved with both projects\, and they 
 will share their experience. Dr. Mairéad Hurley is a science education and 
 public engagement expert\, and she is also a musician.\n\n \n\nThis event 
 is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. \n\n 
 \n\nCopies of the book will be available\, along with light refreshments. 
 The refreshments have been kindly sponsored by Galway Arts Centre.\n\n 
 \n\nIf you have any questions\, please email Dr. Jen Smith\, Open Research 
 Librarian.\n\n \n\n \n\n
