Guiding Success: Staff Support for Undergraduate Nursing Students in Academic Poster Design
Get PDFPosters are a dynamic and innovative assessment tool in undergraduate nursing programmes offering benefits for both students and faculty, while moving beyond traditional assessment methods. Since the inception of the undergraduate nursing programme at Hibernia College in 2022, posters have formed a key part of its diverse assessment strategy. Recognising the need for structured support, the nursing faculty partnered with the Digital Learning Department (DLD), specifically the digital librarian and DLD researcher, to leverage our expertise in poster design to help guide nursing students through the creative part of the assignment. We developed an instructional workshop drawing on active learning principles, as well as additional resources, to help students develop the skills and confidence to create impactful academic posters. This paper explores the development and outcomes of this collaboration, and its role in student learning and engagement
Breen in Bengal: Links Between Irish Revolutionary Literature and Indian Revolutionary Violence in the Early 20th Century
No full textThis article challenges dominant historiographical narratives that characterise the Indian independence movement primarily through Gandhian non-violence and European communist influence by foregrounding the neglected transnational connections between Irish revolutionary literature and Bengali revolutionary violence in the early to mid-twentieth century. Focusing on Bengal as a regional outlier within Indian nationalism, it examines how Irish traditions of physical force nationalism—articulated through revolutionary practice, martyrdom, and, crucially, literary production resonated with and shaped militant movements such as Anushilan Samiti, Jugantar, and the Indian Republican Army. Tracing a genealogy of political violence in Ireland from Young Ireland through the Fenians, the Easter Rising of 1916, and the Irish War of Independence, the article demonstrates how figures like Pádraig Pearse, Éamon de Valera, and especially Dan Breen became influential symbols for Bengali revolutionaries. Particular attention is paid to the circulation, translation, and banning of Breen’s My Fight for Irish Freedom in India, and to the Chittagong Armoury Raid of 1930 as a conscious imitation of the Easter Rising. Ultimately, the article argues that while Bengali revolutionary violence failed to achieve the political synthesis realised in Ireland, Irish revolutionary literature provided Bengali militants with tactical models, moral justification, and a language of martyrdom that profoundly shaped their anti-colonial imagination
