Corrib Beo, in collaboration with Galway City Museum, are delighted to announce the details of the sixth talk in the 2026 Museum Talks Series.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Enda McGovern– a Donegal native and retired Professor of Marketing now living in Athenry – to give a comprehensive talk titled: “Shifting Weather, Rising Seas: Connemara in the Age of Global Risk”, Dé Céadaoin, 29th Iúil @ 1:00 pm at the Galway City Museum.

We recommend you book in advance on Eventbrite.

In this session, Dr. McGovern will draw upon that long-standing research interest to address the specific nature of risk in the modern era. He will lead a discussion exploring environmental vulnerability, and offer a perspective to better understand the impending threats facing the population of the world today.

Speaker Bio:

While Dr. McGovern’s academic career in England and the United States focused on marketing, he has been actively engaging climate change since 1994. His doctoral work includes a Thesis titled: “The Role and Influence of Social Marketing in the Evolution of the Environmental Citizen”, and he has since pursued the intersection of social marketing, risk management and analysis, and climate change.
