As part of the Keough-Naughton Institute's spring 2025 speaker series, Professor John Morrison will deliver a lecture titled "Presbyterian Martyr John Brown of Priesthill and the Disruption." Lecture Abstract  In 1843 the presbyterian Church of Scotland split along ideological lines. The dispute centered on the question of 'patronage,' or who had the power to appoint any given individual minister: the congregation of the church he was being appointed to, or the principal local landowner. Around forty percent of all incumbent ministers walked out of the Church of Scotland over the issue and established the Free Church. This arcane piece of exclusively Scottish history was a major event in Scotland but not hugely significant (or, apparently, terribly interesting) However, it is more thought provoking than it initially appears. At the time, the 'Disruption' of the Kirk occasioned much literature and painting on and around the event, and the 1844 painting in the Raclin Murphy collection, Thomas Duncan’s sketch for The Death of John Brown of Priesthill relates directly, if metaphorically. Duncan’s subject is historical: depicting an event in the late 17th century, it is about sometimes extremist presbyterian belief, political power and revolution. In this lecture, Professor John Morrison will consider the painting, its 17th century subject, its relevance to its 19th century context, and its relationship to Ireland, Scotland and Notre Dame. Speaker Biography John Morrison took a Ph.D. in Art History at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Following a period at the Yale Center for British Art in Connecticut working on the success of the ‘Glasgow Boys’ in the USA in the late nineteenth century, Professor Morrison joined the Art History Department at the University of Aberdeen in 1992. He went on to be Head of the School of Divinity, History and Philosophy and Director of teaching and learning for Arts and Social Sciences. From July 2019 he became Head of the School of History and Heritage at the University of Lincoln. He has appeared regularly on radio and television and published several monographs on Scottish art and cultural history, including Painting the Nation (EUP), Painting Labour in Scotland and Europe 1850-1900 (Ashgate) and Land and Landscape (Sansom). He is currently working on a volume of historical sources for nineteenth-century Scottish painting for Routledge. This event is co-sponsored by the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art.

This event is part of the Kroc Institute’s series on intersectionality and justice as a beneficial framework and methodology paired with peace studies. The series is led by Ashley Bohrer, assistant professor of gender and peace studies, and features a variety of guest presenters who address the potential of intersectional analysis to transform timely global conversations and issues. Since the new millennium, Rwanda has been celebrated as a prosperous country with the highest number of women (61% in 2018) in its Parliament. Yet, President Paul Kagame has been winning Rwandan elections since 2003, and in 2024 was elected to a fourth term with 99.15% vote. Led by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), the government has been criticized as an authoritarian state for its repression of political dissidents. Dr. Xianan Jin, lecturer in politics at the University of Exeter, will discuss her book project, "Selective Capital in Women’s Political Participation: Neoliberal Authoritarianism in Rwanda," which investigates the paradox between liberal political inclusion of women and oppressive state control.
