Since the conventional end of the latest Northern Irish conflict (1998), social workers have been at the forefront of social and health interventions in post-conflict Northern Ireland. These post-conflict policies of intervention have been largely focused on dealing with the trauma and the violence of the past, but to this date there have not been stable long-term benefits, yet. Moreover, uneven social and economic conditions of life still affect people who live in segregated working-class areas of Belfast. Closely looking at how 'care' is administered in one youth centre in Belfast has been crucial to understand how social workers deal with complex situations, such as paramilitary violence, drug-related violence, and suicide. Current health and social care policies are not entirely able to tackle this complexity and cannot provide long-term support. Reflecting on 'trauma' and 'violence', my work provides an original approach that looks simultaneously at the legacies of the past conflict and at conditions of structural inequality, such as poverty. Listening to local experiences has proved crucial to gain an in-depth knowledge of how social workers deliver 'care', evidencing the importance of local understandings for the implementation of social and health care policies.Building on my doctoral research on trauma, violence, and social work in post-conflict Belfast, this fellowship will help me to develop my previous work with local groups in the city and bring my research findings to the wider society. The fellowship will allow me to focus on four objectives:1. Maximise my public impact.2. Dissemination and publication of my doctoral research.3. Expand my network.4. Build solid grounds for my future research and advance the investigation to the next stage.

自北爱尔兰最近一次冲突(1998年)以常规方式结束以来，社会工作者一直站在冲突后北爱尔兰社会和卫生干预的最前线。这些冲突后干预政策在很大程度上侧重于处理过去的创伤和暴力，但到目前为止还没有带来稳定的长期好处。此外，生活在贝尔法斯特工人阶级隔离地区的人们仍然受到不均衡的社会和经济生活条件的影响。仔细观察贝尔法斯特一家青年中心是如何管理“护理”的，对于了解社会工作者如何处理准军事暴力、与毒品有关的暴力和自杀等复杂情况至关重要。目前的卫生和社会保健政策不能完全解决这种复杂性，也不能提供长期支持。反思“创伤”和“暴力”，我的作品提供了一种原创性的方法，同时着眼于过去冲突的遗留问题和结构性不平等的状况，如贫困。事实证明，倾听当地的经验对于深入了解社会工作者如何提供‘关怀’至关重要，这证明了当地理解对于社会和医疗保健政策实施的重要性。基于我在冲突后贝尔法斯特创伤、暴力和社会工作方面的博士研究，这项奖学金将帮助我发展我以前与城市当地团体的工作，并将我的研究成果带到更广泛的社会。该奖学金将使我专注于四个目标：1.最大限度地提高我的公众影响力。我的博士研究成果的传播和出版。扩展我的关系网。为我今后的研究打下坚实的基础，并将调查推进到下一阶段。
