Keane, Aisling; Bradley, Martin (Taylor & Francis, 2015-12-17)National University of Ireland, Galway and the Abbey Theatre finalized a partnership to digitize the archive of the Abbey Theatre in 2012. The partnership leverages NUI Galway’s position as a leader in theatre and digital ... -
Academic freedom and the eye of power: the politics and poetics of open enclosures
Ryan, Kevin (Taylor & Francis, 2016-06-13)Transparency is both a powerful idea and a technology of power associated with accountability, justice and democracy, which opposes the secretive and shadowy power of surveillance wielded by states and corporations. This ... -
The Accelerating Campus Entrepreneurship (ACE) initiative: Creating entrepreneurial graduates for Ireland
Coleman, Maébh; Cormican, Kathryn (2009)This paper will discuss how Irish HEIs can improve their provision of entrepreneurship education in order to affect positive economic growth. In particular this research explores the approach, process and research of the ... -
The Accelerating Campus Entrepreneurship (ACE) initiative: Creating entrepreneurial graduates for Ireland
Coleman, Maébh; Cormican, Kathryn (2010)According to the GEM Ireland Report (2008), in Ireland those that have exposure to entrepreneurship education have an increased propensity to start a new venture. The importance of entrepreneurial skills was picked up by ... -
