A public lecture by Professor Genevieve Bell, Director of the 3A Institute, Florence Violet McKenzieChair, and a Distinguished Professor at the Australian National University.

Professor Bell who is described as an anthropologist, technologist and futurist, is best known for her work at the intersection of cultural practice and technology development. She has spent over 15 years at Intel where she was promoted to Vice President for Strategy and was also elected as a senior fellow, the first female to achieve such a prestigious position in the company. She now heads up a new institute at the Australian National University called the Autonomy, Agency and Assurance (3A) Institute, launched in September 2017 focusing on “building a new applied science around the management of artificial intelligence, data, technology and their impact on humanity’’.

This is the inaugural talk of a new public lecture series ‘What does it mean to be Human?’ organised by the Trinity Long Room Hub and Trinity Research and Innovation. In this high-profile lecture series, experts from enterprise and education will reflect on what it means to be human at the turn of the 21st century with the growing influence of technology on the way we live, work and communicate.

This lecture is part of a series entitled "Beyond the Book of Kells: The stories of eight other medieval manuscripts from the library of Trinity College Dublin."

In this final lecture of the series, Dr Immo Warntjes from the Department of History at Trinity College Dublin will discuss MS 52: The Book of Armagh. This work is probably Trinity's most important manuscript after the Book of Kells. Copied at the behest of Torbach, abbot of Armagh, in the early ninth century by the scribe Ferdomnach, TCD MS 52 contains not only the earliest text of the New Testament from Ireland, but also a suite of works without which Ireland's patron saint, Patrick, would be almost unknown.

In this talk Dr Niamh Patwell from UCD will discuss TCD MS 70: A Wycliffite Psalter. The rejection of Latin as the language of religion in favour of vernaculars in the 1960s is well known; attempts to convey the word of God in English in the fourteenth century will be less familiar. TCD 70, with its basic instructional works introducing the fundamental tenets of the Christian faith and text of the Psalms in English, represents just such an early attempt to democratise access to scripture, at a time when there was the danger such activity would be condemned as heretical.

This lecture is part of a series entitled "Beyond the Book of Kells: The stories of eight other medieval manuscripts from the library of Trinity College Dublin."

In this talk Dr Mark Faulkner from Trinity's School of English, will discuss TCD MS 492: A Twelfth-Century Bede from Bury. MS 492 typifies the large, imposing copies of major Latin works with which monasteries filled their libraries after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Its texts – Bede's eighth-century Ecclesiastical History of the English People and an eleventh-century treatise on the resting places of English saints – were central to the Norman invaders' interactions with the religious history of their new territory, providing nothing less than holy geography of England.

This lecture is part of a series entitled "Beyond the Book of Kells: The stories of eight other medieval manuscripts from the library of Trinity College Dublin."

In this third talk of the series, Dr Caoimhe Whelan from Trinity's Department of History will discuss TCD MS. 592: A Hiberno-English translation of Gerald of Wales' On the Conquest of Ireland. Gerald of Wales was perhaps the principal propagandist of the twelfth-century English invasion of Ireland and his work was to have a lasting impact on both colonisers and colonised. TCD 592 presents a fifteenth-century English translation of Gerald's work, apparently written for an Anglo-Irish audience, complete with marginal notes highlighting the English claim to Ireland and offering warnings against Irish treachery.
