We will touch on the intersection between Art & Social Justice and, finally, use what we have learned to create our own artwork in response.

The inter-generational transmission of inequality: how wealth and poverty are inherited
Dr. Miquel Pellicer
Many countries around the world suffer from large inequalities. How unjust are these inequalities? Are they the outcome of differences in effort or of differences in privilege? How much does birth and social background contribute to socioeconomic success? Can redistribution of resources towards the least privileged durably reduce inequalities? In this lecture we will study how inequality is transmitted across generations. We will first examine recent empirical evidence on how wealth and poverty persist across generations. Then we will consider the role of nature and nurture in explaining inter-generational persistence of economic success.

Childhood Adversity, Social Inequality and Trauma-Informed Practice in Education
Childhood adversities - whether resulting from social inequalities, poverty, discrimination or traumas like abuse and violence - are common and the effects can be devastating. Children’s responses may appear bizarre or incomprehensible to those who do not understand how adversity and trauma impacts mind, body and behaviour. Children may appear ‘spaced-out’ and inattentive, angry and disruptive, confused and disengaged. These responses to trauma often get children into trouble in school and in their communities.
This session considers how the experience of adversity is often bound up in social inequalities and the negative operation of power in children's lives. It highlights ways that adversity impacts mind, body and behaviour, and it offers guidance to those working with children, consistent with the principles of trauma-informed practice.
The session will be facilitated by Caroline Martin, chief psychologist with City of Dublin Education and Training Board and Dr Catriona O’Toole, Maynooth University Department of Education. It will involve inputs/talks along with workshop-style activities.
This event is offered as part of Maynooth Social Justice week and coincides with the final session of a Masters in Education module entitled ‘Wellbeing, mental health and education’.
Open to Maynooth University Students and Staff. Please use the eventbrite to book tickets.
