The Annual Conference of the Political Studies Association of Ireland (PSAI) will take place in the Europa Hotel, Belfast, over the weekend of 7-9th October 2016.
The Knowledge Exchange Seminar Series (KESS) is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom, formally partnering a legislative arm of government – the Northern Ireland Assembly – with academia. Aiming to encourage debate and improve understanding, KESS provides a forum to present and disseminate research findings in a straightforward format, making those findings easily accessible to decision-makers.
This is a half-day international interdisciplinary postgraduate research workshop on intersectionality.
This event will present work by researchers at Queen's University that uses the theories and methods of political science and social psychology in order to help community relations in Northern Ireland.
Using Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as a case study, the event will explore the relationship between apologies, abuses and dealing with past harms across three topics (paramilitary violence, institutional child abuse and the economic crisis).
The event will include a presentation centred on facing mortality with chronic disease, by Dr Jimmy McAleavey, currently a Lecturer in Creative Writing at the Seamus Heaney Centre/School of English, Queen's University Belfast.
This workshop will introduce A-level students to economics-based approaches to studying history, and show how quantitative historical data and economic theory can shed light on existing historical debates.
