Jamie Dornan: Actor pays tribute to late dad as he receives honorary degree from Queen’s
The star of The Tourist has come back to Northern Ireland to be honoured as an honorary graduate at the university his late father attended.
Co Down actor Jamie Dornan has been awarded a Doctorate for distinction in the arts at Queen’s University, Belfast.
The Holywood man is the recipient of two Irish Film and Television Awards and has also been nominated for a BAFTA and a Golden Globe Award.
His father Professor Jim Dornan passed away aged 73 in 2021 after contracting Covid in Dubai, but Jamie could not see him because he was in Australia to film The Tourist.
The retired obstetrician and gynaecologist had considered a career in acting before turning to medicine, but he later had small parts in The Fall, in which Jamie played serial killer Paul Spector, and the third series of Marcella, starring Anna Friel.
Speaking at the Queen’s ceremony, Jamie said: “It’s a huge honour. My dad went to this university, there are pictures in my house of my dad wearing a similar robe. I’m very proud to be involved in this great university.”

Remember… my dad went to this university, there are pictures in my house of my dad wearing a similar robe. — Jamie Dornan, DUniv

#OTD in 1939 – Birth of poet, Seamus Heaney, near Castledawson, Co Derry.
“Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained.” –Seamus Heaney
Seamus Heaney published his first poetry book in 1966, Death of a Naturalist, creating vivid portraits of rural life. Later work looked at his homeland’s civil war, and he won the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature for his globally acclaimed oeuvre, with its focus on love, nature and memory. A professor and…

'Either you believe in free speech for views you dislike - or you don't believe in it at all' - Message to Queen's University Belfast from academics after Northern Irish institution pledges its enthusiasm for free expression and conscience
Either you believe in freedom of speech for views you dislike, or you don't believe in freedom of speech.
That is the message to Queen's University Belfast from major international academic Peter Boghossian, after it issued a statement stressing its enthusiasm for freedom of thought and expression in the face of pro-Palestinian protests.
The statement means the university is now caught in a "contradiction" he said, given that it recently adopted a policy compelling everyone on campus to accept transgender identities.
Other academics who are voicing similar sentiments are Edward Skidelsky and Liam Kennedy.
Dr Sidelsky is a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Exeter, and director of the Committee for Academic Freedom, while Prof Kennedy is a history professor at Queen's.
This most recent episode of the Queen's free speech saga began on May 9, when the university issued a statement after Palestine activists temporarily occupied its main building to protest against its ties to Israel.
In response, the university said: "Queen’s University Belfast is committed to freedom of expression, the right to hold a range of views, and the promotion and protection of the right to protest. This applies to our students, academics, and professional staff, and indeed the wider public."
In December The News Letter revealed details of its new QUB trans code, which states that if somebody uses a trans or "non-binary" person's “incorrect pronouns” on two or more occasions (even by accident) it will fall under "bullying and harassment".
[ Peter Boghossian ]
This applies “regardless of whether or not that person has transitioned legally or surgically”.
The code also bars what it calls "derogatory jokes", also on pain of disciplinary action.
The code applies to all staff, students, student applicants, job applicants, plus "all visitors and anyone providing services to, or those contracted to work at, the University including sub-contractors".
(This followed a battle with the Queen's press office, which initially refused to hand over the relevant documentation.)
Peter Boghossian (293,000 Twitter followers) was a philosophy professor in Portland, USA, before quitting, accusing it of "intolerance of divergent beliefs and opinions".
He was one of the architects of the "grievance studies" scandal which saw him and others submit made-up research papers on feminism and gender to academic journals, many of which were published despite being surreally absurd.
Contrasting Queen's trans policy with its support for "the right to hold a range of views", Prof Boghossian said: "It is a contradiction.
"People in general, and it seems that academics in particular, only support free speech when they approve of the content of that speech."
On the worldwide Palestinian campus protests more widely, he added: "For many academics and diversity-equity-and-inclusion bureaucrats ‘Kill the Jews’ and ‘We need a Final Solution’ is protected speech, but asking people ‘Where are you from?’ or saying ‘I don’t see color’ are microaggressions."
Prof Sidelsky likewise said there is "inconsistency" in Queen's approach.
"Like many institutions, QUB is all for freedom of expression for views it agrees with, not for views it disagrees with," he said.
"But if you really believe in freedom of expression, you believe in it across the board."
And professor Liam Kennedy said that whilst the university's trans policy does not seem to be "a problem", it is "rather pointless, if not actually silly of Queen’s University to insist on making this a requirement backed up by disciplinary threats".
He added: "There is a danger of mission creep here, and disciplinary threats if exercised vigorously could end up producing a chill factor in relation to academic freedom."
Queen's was invited to comment but didn't.
==
Just in case anyone thinks Peter is using a strawman:
[ Source: "Racial microaggressions in everyday life: Implications for clinical practice", Derald Wing Sue, et al. ]
Note that the QUB policy constitutes compelled speech. You're being forced to knowingly lie, or you'll be punished.

I really want to be studying at Queen's University Belfast or Cambridge or Oxford. I love Aberystwyth University, but I'm really contemplating if I actually love it or if I've just convinced myself that I like it, enjoy it.

#OTD in 1969 – Bernadette Devlin was elected MP for Mid Ulster, standing as the Independent Unity candidate; at 21 years old, she was Britain’s youngest ever female MP and the third youngest MP ever.
Devlin was born in Cookstown, Co Tyrone to a Roman Catholic family. She attended St Patrick’s Girls Academy in Dungannon. She was studying Psychology at Queen’s University Belfast in 1968 when she took a prominent role in a student-led civil rights organisation, People’s Democracy. Devlin was subsequently excluded from the university.
She stood unsuccessfully against James Chichester-Clark in the…

Belfast, Northern Ireland
The march set off from Belfast's Queens University to the US Consulate to demand a ceasefire in Palestine.
Marchers carried with them the names of the children confirmed dead as a result of the IDF's bombing of Gaza along with teddy bears to lay at the gates of the embassy to signify those children killed by Israeli forces.
Speakers at the rally included Mairead Corrigan Maguire, joint 1976 Nobel Peace Prize winner for her campaign against violence in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

The vote was split along unionist and nationalist lines: DUP and UUP figures against the motion (plus Jim Allister) and Sinn Fein, SDLP, and Alliance figures in favour (as well as unionist independent Claire Sugden).
Out of 90 MLAs, the vote was 44 in favour, 26 against.This comes as students at Queen’s University Belfast temporarily “occupied” university property in protest – echoing much larger recent protests in the USA.
The motion approved by the Assembly on Tuesday night says: “This Assembly condemns the ongoing genocide in Gaza that has left more than 35,000 people dead, most of them women and children;
"Further condemns the actions of Hamas on October 7, which left 1,300 people dead and many families searching for loved ones;
"Abhors the killing of international humanitarian aid workers seeking to deliver vital supplies to the civilian population on the brink of famine;
"Rejects plans for a ground assault on the city of Rafah, with a refugee population of more than one million Palestinians sheltering with nowhere safe to go;
"Regrets the failure of the international community to act decisively in the interests of peace; affirms its support for a two-state solution and the immediate recognition of the state of Palestine;
"Calls for an immediate ceasefire in the region and the release of all hostages;
"Further calls for an end to arms sales and transfers to Israel while the genocide continues;
"And calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to write jointly to the UK Prime Minister in pursuit of these objectives.”
