School of Religion Trinity College Dublin Orientation 2019-2020

2 | P a g e

26 August 2019 Dear Graduate Student, On behalf of the Acting Head of School, Prof. David Shepherd and all the staff here in Dublin and Belfast, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the School and to wish you a successful year of study and research in Trinity College Dublin. Our School explores religious studies, international conflict and peace studies, theology, ethics and biblical studies as independent but often related disciplinary fields and our undergraduate and postgraduate courses and our research students interrogate encounters between cultures and religions from antiquity to the present day. Our students and staff investigate the intellectual and institutional resources developed in historical and current interactions and conflicts and apply them to the challenges and the opportunities societies face in an age of globalisation. During your orientation event you will receive some basic information about how the School works, you will meet some of the key people involved in teaching and administration, and you will have an opportunity to become familiar with the layout of our building. Most importantly, you will have an opportunity to introduce yourselves to one another, and to see what kinds of skills, experiences and previous studies have shaped the student community of 2019-2020. If you need any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to approach staff who will be around throughout the morning and over a light lunch. As a staff, our hope is that you will find the coming year to be fruitful – intellectually and socially – and that you will be both stretched and inspired by your time in the School. We look forward to getting to know you and to working with you in the weeks and months ahead. With kind regards and best wishes.

Prof. Carlo Aldrovandi

Director of Postgraduate Teaching and Learning

JAMES HAIRE MEMORIAL PRIZES

2019-2020

In 2002, the Irish School of Ecumenics Trust established the James Haire Memorial Prizes, in memory of the late Revd. Professor James Haire, former Principal of Union Theological College, Belfast.

Seven prizes are awarded annually, two in each of the Intercultural Theology and Interreligious Studies, International Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation courses and one in the Postgraduate Diploma in Conflict and Dispute Resolution Studies course. Each prize will be worth €100. In each programme one prize will be offered for the highest mark in dissertation, and one for the highest mark in a student’s best three essays (based on an average calculation. In the case of a tie the mark in the fourth essay may be taken into consideration). In each case the prize for dissertation will be awarded first, and the winner of that prize may not be considered for award of the essay prize. Awards will be made by the appropriate Court of Examiners, whose decision will be final.

We also thought it would be helpful to provide you with guidelines re the Reading Room which is located at the ISE / Loyola Inst. Building, TCD main campus, which operates on a ‘trust basis’. We see it as a vital resource for ISE and Loyola staff and postgraduate students, and so ask you to note and co-operate in keeping the following guidelines:

Books located in the Reading Room are solely for the use of ISE and LI staff and postgraduate students and are a supplement to the main College library resources;

Books may not be removed from the Reading Room;

Books must be replaced in their correct location;

Books are ordered according to the Dewey Decimal System which is also the system used in College libraries;

The Dewey System uses three-digit Arabic numbers for main Categories; numbers which follow the decimal point are used to used to sub- subcategorize the disciplinary areas;

The hard copy Catalogue which is available in the Reading Room is arranged alphabetically by author, with the Dewey number located in the last column.

If you experience any difficulties, please contact Aideen Woods, at isedir@tcd.ie.

Please do not remove the catalogue from the Reading Room.
