DESCRIPTION:Join us for an Annie Macdonald Langstaff Workshop with Shivaun 
 Quinlivan.\n\nAbstract\n\nIn November 2014\, the National University of Ir
 eland was found to have discriminated against women on two separate occasi
 ons. The impact of these rulings was a union campaign within the National 
 University of Ireland Galway pushing for gender equality within that insti
 tution\, but also within the University sector more broadly.  This campaig
 n ultimately resulted in a Government appointed Expert Group “HEA National
  Review of Gender Equality in Irish Higher Education Institutions” who rep
 orted in June of this year.  Amongst the more significant recommendations 
 are that any new President or Vice President of an Irish University must b
 e able to show demonstrable experience of advancing gender discrimination 
 and the immediate introduction of mandatory quotas for academic promotion.
  \n\nThe focus of this talk is to provide a critical assessment of the ini
 tial cases\, the campaign that followed and the resulting Higher Education
  Authorities recommendations. \n\nAbout the speaker\n\nDr Shivaun Quinliva
 n is a lecturer at the School of Law\, NUI Galway\, where she teaches prim
 arily in the area of Constitutional Law and Disability Law and Policy. She
  has worked with and for a range of statutory and other agencies in Irelan
 d and Europe\, including the Equality Authority\, the National Council for
  Special Education\, the Association of Higher Education Access and Disabi
 lity\, the Health Service Executive\, as well as working on a number of Eu
 ropean Commission funded projects.\n\nThe Workshops\n\nInaugurated in 1988
  in honour of Annie MacDonald Langstaff\, BCL 1914\, the first woman to ea
 rn a law degree in Quebec\, the workshops provide a forum for academics\, 
 judges\, lawyers\, and community activists to present scholarly research a
 nd practical insights on issues relating to women and the law.\n
