Themes to be explored will include the War of Independence, the Famine, urban studies, poverty and family history in Westmeath.\u00a0The focus will be on accessing source on line in this era of on line learning. Skills to be developed include ideas around objectivity, bias, creativity, descriptive modes and setting contexts for any local study, Speakers will include published authors such as Dr. Ciaran Mc Cabe, Ann Murtagh, Ruth Illingworth, Gretta Connell, Dr. Paul Hughes, Seamus O Brien and others<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">Again we plan for a physically distanced seminar in conjunction with remote access via Zoom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">We organised a similar seminar on doing Oral History last year and it was a successful event. The idea for the seminar followed on naturally from the series of lectures we host throughout the year and is a huge opportunity to provide research skills to people who are interested in history but who lack the confidence to move to the next stage of research and publication. It fits in very well with Creative Ireland criteria as creativity is crucial to any research project and is indispensable for the writing process.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11475","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Westmeath Archaeological &amp; Historical Society Research Seminar - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Research seminar on how to write a history of a local area with particular focus on Westmeath.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/westmeath-archaeological-historical-society-research-seminar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Westmeath Archaeological &amp; Historical Society Research Seminar - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Research seminar on how to write a history of a local area with particular focus on Westmeath.
