SUMMARY:Building Peace Across Religious Divides in Nigeria with Professor Darren Kew\, University of Massachusetts\, Boston
DESCRIPTION:Darren Kew is Professor of Conflict Resolution at UMass Boston and author of Civil Society\, Conflict Resolution\, and Democracy in Nigeria.  \nNigeria is one of the few nations of the world that is divided evenly between Muslims and Christians\, and violent conflicts frequently erupt across that divide.  Many groups are working to build greater peace between Muslims and Christians\, including the Interfaith Mediation Centre (IMC)\, which has gained global attention for its work across Nigeria and elsewhere. \nProfessor Darren Kew of UMass Boston has spent much of the last 15 years working with IMC and many other Nigerian groups like it\, and will present some of his findings on 1) the model that IMC has developed for bridging religious divides\, which relies heavily not only on religious conviction\, but also the social status associated with religious leaders\, and 2) the impacts this work has had on divided communities in Nigeria.  Implications for religious peacebuilding in other societies like Northern Ireland will be discussed as well. \nThe seminar will be facilitated by Dr Gladys Ganiel\, Reader in Sociology and Mitchell Institute Fellow. \nTo register before 12noon on Wednesday 10 March 2021\, please click book now.  A meeting link will be sent via email before this event. \n

The Foster chair is the only endowed chair of Irish History in Britain\, and is attached to Hertford\, the Oxford college with the strongest Irish associations. He has broad interests in Ireland between the seventeenth and twenty-first centuries\, especially its politics\, culture and intellectual life. He currently holds a Leverhulme Major Research Award which will enable him to spend two years researching and writing a study of the impact of the penal laws on eighteenth-century Ireland. \nProfessor McBride grew up in County Armagh\, and his interest in History flowed naturally from the political instability and intensity of Northern Ireland in the late twentieth century. He was educated at Jesus College\, Oxford and University College London\, and was awarded a research fellowship at Corpus Christi College\, Cambridge (1993-96). Between 2000 and 2016 he taught at King’s College London. \nHis books include The Siege of Derry in Ulster Protestant Mythology (1997) and Scripture Politics: Ulster Presbyterians and Irish Radicalism in the Late Eighteenth Century (1998)\, both short-listed for the Christopher Ewart-Biggs Literary Prize; and Eighteenth-Century Ireland: The Isle of Slaves (2009). His most recent publication is The Princeton History of Modern Ireland (2016)\, edited with Richard Bourke. Professor McBride is currently completing work on Irish Political Writings I\, a volume for the new Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jonathan Swift. \nSince 2004 Professor McBride has been convener of the Conference of Irish Historians in Britain which he now organises jointly with Dr Caoimhe Nic Dháibhéid. This conference was founded by Marianne by Marianne Elliott and Roy Foster and has held biennial meetings for 40 years. It provides the main forum for Irish historians working on this island to present their work. Further details can be found on the conference website (http://irishhistoriansinbritain.org/)\, which also contains twenty-two short pieces written to commemorate the centenary of 1916. \nProfessor McBride has presented his research to a wide range of audiences\, from the Presbyterian Historical Society in Belfast to Coiste na n-Iarchimí\, an ex-prisoners organization consisting of former members of the Provisional IRA\, in South Armagh. As part of Derry’s year as city of culture (2013) he organized a conference on the history and legacy of the Siege of Derry in collaboration with the Apprentice Boys. He has been interviewed for a variety of BBC Northern Ireland programmes\, and was presenter and consultant on a one-hour documentary entitled Forgotten Revolutionary: Francis Hutcheson\, first broadcast on BBC2 on 25 July 2012; he was also a panelist on the In Our Time episode on A Modest Proposal.
