The role of identity in ethnic conflict peace building in Northern Ireland

由于冠状病毒病，研究被禁止，但收集了大量数据。我收集了14名爱尔兰共和军前囚犯的数据，总共约30小时/200 A4页的文字记录数据。这些数据被用来在《全球研究杂志》上发表一篇同行评议的文章，探讨爱尔兰共和军前囚犯如何利用建设和平来加强陷入僵局的爱尔兰和平进程。目前正在分析数据，以了解建设和平在冲突后局势中种族政治身份变化中的作用。利用个人身份创新的TODDS概念，人们发现，促进和平的群体间工作导致参与者增加其族裔群体的边界，以涵盖与他们发生冲突的其他族裔群体的要素。

Due to COVID, research was inhibited but substantial data was collected. I was able to collect data from 14 Irish Republican Army ex-prisoners, which totals around 30 hours/200 A4 pages of transcript data.Data was used to publish a peer reviewed article in the Journal of Global Studies looking at how IRA ex-prisoners used peacebuilding to enhance the Irish peace process which is in a stalemate.Data is now being analyzed in order to understand the role of peacebuilding in ethno-political identity change in a post-conflict situation. Using Todds concept of Individual Identity Innovation, it has been found that peace building intergroup work results in participants increasing the boundaries of their ethnic group to encompass elements of the other ethnic group with whom they were in conflict.
