EDITOR'S NOTE: Julia Walsh was one of the H-Net pioneers. The following
Announcement is from H-South.

The editors and board of H-South with heavy hearts convey the death of
Julia Walsh (PhD, Illinois, 1999), an editor of this list [H-South] and a
Contributor to H-Labor. Julia, who had been suffering from the effects of
Early-onset Parkinson's Disease for many years, died in her sleep on April

Gracious manner and skillful writing were her professional hallmarks.
Julia was as warm and generous a person one could hope to meet. She and
Tom presented a supportive social center for Illinois graduate students in
The late nineties and they carried that goodwill with them to St. Louis
Where Julia was much loved in her department. Her scholarship was
Outstanding and added significantly to our understanding of the American
South. We extend our love and caring to Tom and Norah as they move
Forward. We all miss Julia
Terribly.

How women use family networks to facilitate migration: A comparative study
of Irish and Polish women in Britain

Abstract

Within migration studies there has been a tendency to focus on a single case
study of a particular national group. Adopting a comparative approach may
raise new and interesting questions or challenge conventional thinking on
migration. While on the surface, at least, Irish and Polish migrants would
appear to have many commonalities, there has been surprisingly little
comparative analysis of these two groups. Drawing on my own research on
these migrants in the British context, I focus on women as a large but
under-researched aspect of both groups. This paper suggests ways in which
such a comparison could be undertaken by using social networks as a useful
comparative tool. A social networks perspective not only allows a probing
analysis of migration strategies, but also provides a framework within which
to compare across different migrant groups, such as for example, examining
the role of family networks (here and there) in migration processes. In
addition, this approach enables an examination of dynamism over time and how
migrants develop relationships within spatially dispersed as well as locally
embedded ties.

Dear Patrick

Knock: The Virgin's Apparition in Nineteenth Century Ireland by Eugene =
Hynes and published by Cork University Press has been selected as a =
co-winner of the tenth annual James S. Donnelly, Sr. award for Books =
in History and the Social Sciences presented by the American Conference =

156mm, =E2=82=AC49/=C2=A339).

On August 21, 1879 in a poor rural village in the western county of Mayo =
over a dozen people saw a bright silvery-white light outside the gable =
of the local Catholic church and within the light the Virgin Mary, St =
Joseph and St John the Evangelist. From a neglected memoir dating from =
1880 Hynes steps inside the shoes of a local man who describes the scene =
in Knock for half a century before the apparition. The timing and =
location of the apparition is explained by the combination of several =
factors.

Hynes shines an important new sociological light on nineteenth century =
Ireland. He provides a readable and scholarly account of rural Catholic =
life in the time leading up to the apparition at Knock. He weaves a rich =
description of the people and events into a comprehensive analysis of =
the social, political and economic context within which the apparition =
occurred.

Eugene Hynes is a native of east Galway and is Associate Professor of =
Sociology at Kettering University, Michigan

Call for Papers: "Irish Things"

=C9ire-Ireland welcomes submissions for a spring/summer 2011 special =
issue,
"Irish Things," that will examine Irish material culture - a =
particularly
well-suited focus for the interdisciplinary field of Irish Studies. Even =
a
rapid review of select fields reveals literary critics and art =
historians
scrutinizing the representation of objects in the
arts; historians elucidating the myriad contexts for objects; =
sociologists
and anthropologists chronicling the functions and exchange of objects =
among
peoples; philosophers investigating the nature of objects. Ireland =
provides
a rich site for these inquiries: it maintains a complex relationship to
"things" in part from the association of material culture with =
colonialism,
a point made by historian Toby Barnard, and from the tension between
Catholicism's anti-materialist bias and its reverence for icons.

We seek compelling interdisciplinary research about Irish history and
culture that will contribute to on-going scholarly debates about the =
nature
of things. Essays might, for example, recover the social function and
representation of Irish objects, or they could examine the history or
current status of material culture in Ireland. We encourage =
considerations
of the anxieties and enthusiasms attending the late advent of consumer
culture in Ireland, as well as investigations of the circulation, =
exchange,
and consumption of Irish objects at home and
abroad. The editors invite submissions that demonstrate innovative =

Mark,

The complication is that Jim Wilson/Dr. James F. Wilson, is trying to turn
this kind of DNA research into a commercial enterprise.

There is some background at

http://www.orkneytoday.co.uk/news_item.asp?newsItem=297

etc...

You will see that he was connected with the 'Blood of the Vikings'
television series (Note: Not the 'Mouth Swabs of the Vikings'...)

His commercial web site is
http://www.ethnoancestry.com./

http://www.ethnoancestry.com./about.htm

See also
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3718458.stm

The 'Vikings' stuff has turned up in the formal research record - eg...

http://www.familytreedna.com/pdf/capelli2_CB.pdf

where the BBC is one of the organisations thanked, and Wilson is one of the
authors.

Note that that pdf is displayed on
http://www.familytreedna.com/
and is therefore being called in support by yet another commercial DNA
family tree project.

To answer your question directly, I have not been able to establish whether
or not the research outlined in press items like ' Clues to ancient invasion
in DNA' has in fact entered the formal research record.

P.O'S.

Does anyone know off-hand if Wilson's results have been published
somewhere?

For anyone interested in these issues of population genetics (and
particularly the problematic cultural politics of commercial
applications or media appropriations), Catherine Nash offers an
outstanding discussion in the last two chapters of her book /Of Irish
Descent/ (Syracuse University Press, 2008). You may find some references
to relevant articles here - I think Nash refers to scholarly works as
well as more popular outlets. Her conclusion is that we should be wary
of this application of technology to cultural identity - it is one of
the most cogent and well-argued pieces I have seen for a long time.

Cheers
Chad

Creating the Cosmopolitan City: Manchester Migrants Old and New,
Wed 22 April and Wed 27 May.

The Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures (RICC) invites you to
attend its two upcoming workshops for the series

Creating the Cosmopolitan City: Manchester Migrants Old and New, to be held
at the CUBE Gallery on Wed 22 April and Wed 27 May.

These workshops have been developed in order to challenge the view that
immigrants and refugees must be integrated into Manchester.

Instead, these workshops take the perspective that it is immigrants and
refugees that have integrated Manchester into the world. By examining these
topics we argue that in the past and present immigrants and refugees have
been central in the building of Manchester into an urban society that is
linked to the rest of the world. That is to say, immigrants and refugees
have and do connect Manchester globally through their contributions to its
industry, business, arts, culture, and daily interactions within urban
spaces.

To the extent that Manchester can claim to be cosmopolitan (open to the
world), it is because of these contributions from immigrants and refugees.

Creating the Cosmopolitan City is supported by the EU Commission, the
Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures (RICC), the Jean Monnet Centre
of Excellence (JMCE) and the Migration and Diaspora Cultural Studies Network
(MDCSN).
