Commemorating Partition and Civil Wars in Ireland, 2020-2023

这是对Impact and Engagement后续资金的申请，以成功的研究网络《北爱尔兰2016：临近复活节崛起和索姆河战役的有争议的纪念活动》为基础。它寻求填补与北爱尔兰政策制定者交流学术知识的空白，这些政策制定者正在努力实施斯托蒙特众议院协议中涉及过去遗产的方面。它将通过引起人们对北爱尔兰分治和建立(1920-1921)以来政治和种族冲突的长期原因的重要性的关注来做到这一点。它为来自AHSS一系列学科的学者提供了一个机会，与政策制定者、文化和遗产机构以及志愿组织接触，以应对爱尔兰百年纪念活动期间北爱尔兰面临的最严重的挑战：-爱尔兰分治，在北爱尔兰建立一个权力下放的行政当局，在南部建立一个实际上独立的国家(1949年成为共和国)。分治被工会主义者视为典型的国家建设时刻，仍然是北爱尔兰工会主义者和特别是忠诚者身份的核心，而对许多民族主义者和共和党人来说，正是最终的背叛行为让他们受制于工会主义多数派政府，在50多年的时间里剥夺了他们基本的公民权利；-1920年至1922年北爱尔兰的宗派暴力，包括贝尔法斯特造船厂驱逐天主教工人，1920年利斯本天主教企业被焚烧，1922年宗派杀戮麦克马洪夫妇和阿尔特纳维利；-爱尔兰内战(1922-1923年)，以及防止爱尔兰共和军分裂的努力涉及一场破坏北爱尔兰新政府稳定的运动。这些事件的纪念活动将因骚乱五十周年(从2018年起)的巧合而变得复杂。该项目直接回应了自最初拨款以来出现的三个最新事态发展：-《斯托蒙特众议院协议(2014)》：通过强调围绕分治和1921年北爱尔兰建立的事件的重要性，以履行SHA的职责，制作一份真实的历史时间表和统计数据《麻烦分析》--《重新开始》(2015年11月)：SHA实施计划明确指出了在处理遗产问题方面遇到的困难。--《爱尔兰的呼唤》民意调查(2015年10月)，该调查突出了北爱尔兰公众对这一时期关键历史事件影响的了解程度较低。NI大会知识交流系列的研讨会将向NI的政策制定者传播成果。播客公共讲座系列将寻求弥合现有学术文献与公众对它的认识之间的差距。两个政策研讨会将为来自AHSS广泛学科(人类学、教育学、英国文学、地理、历史、爱尔兰研究、记忆研究、政治)的学者提供机会，与政策制定者、文化机构和第三部门团体分享他们的专业知识，这些组织涉及组织纪念活动，并改善北爱尔兰和爱尔兰共和国之间的社区关系，包括：北爱尔兰政府：北爱尔兰办事处，爱尔兰外交和贸易部(英爱司)；权力下放政府：第一部长办公室和副第一部长办公室；北爱尔兰文化、艺术和休闲部；北爱尔兰教育部；地方政府：贝尔法斯特市议会；第三部门：社区关系委员会、记忆治愈、爱尔兰合作组织、神经中心。

This is an application for follow-on funding for impact and engagement to build upon the successful research network 'Northern Ireland's 2016: Approaching the contested commemoration of the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme'. It seeks to fill a void in exchanging academic knowledge with policy-makers in Northern Ireland who are struggling to implement the aspects of the Stormont House Agreement dealing with the legacy of the past. It will do so by drawing attention to the significance of the longer term causes of political and ethnic conflict dating from partition and the creation of Northern Ireland (1920-21).It offers academics from a range of AHSS disciplines an opportunity to engage with policy makers, cultural and heritage institutions and voluntary organisations to address the most serious challenges facing commemoration in Northern Ireland during the Irish Decade of Centenaries:- the partition of Ireland, establishing a devolved administration in Northern Ireland and an effectively independent state in the south (that would become a republic in 1949). Partition is seen by unionists as a quintessential state-building moment and remains central to much of unionist and especially loyalist identity in Northern Ireland, whereas to many nationalists and republicans it was the ultimate act of betrayal that left them at the mercy of a unionist majority government that denied them essential civil rights for over fifty years;- sectarian violence in Northern Ireland between 1920 and 1922, including the expulsion of Catholic workers from the Belfast shipyards, the burning of Catholic businesses in Lisburn in 1920, and the sectarian killings of the McMahons and at Altnaveigh in 1922;- the Irish Civil War (1922-1923) and the way in which efforts to prevent a split in the IRA involved a campaign to destabilise the new Northern Ireland government.Commemorations of these events will be complicated by the coincidence of the fiftieth anniversary of the Troubles (from c.2018 onwards).The project responds directly to three recent developments that have emerged since the original grant:- 'The Stormont House Agreement (2014)': by highlighting the significance of events surrounding partition and the establishment of Northern Ireland in 1921 in fulfilling the SHA's remit of a producing 'a factual historical timeline and statistical analysis of the Troubles'.- 'A Fresh Start' (November 2015): The SHA implementation plan that indicates clearly the difficulties being encountered in dealing with legacy issues.- The Behaviours and Attitudes 'Ireland's Call' poll (October 2015) which highlighted a low level of public knowledge in Northern Ireland about the impact of key historical events from the period. A seminar to the NI Assembly's Knowledge Exchange series will disseminate the outcomes to policy-makers in NI.A podcasted public lecture series will seek to bridge the gap between the existing academic literature and the public awareness of it.Two policy symposiums will offer academics from a wide range of AHSS disciplines (anthropology, education, English literature, geography, history, Irish studies, memory studies, politics) an opportunity to share their expertise with policy makers, cultural institutions and third sector groups concerned with organising commemorative events, and improving community relations in Northern Ireland and between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, including:National Government: Northern Ireland Office, Irish Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Anglo-Irish Division);Devolved Government: Office of First Minister and Deputy First Minister; Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure; Department of Education Northern Ireland;Local Government: Belfast City Council; Third sector: Community Relations Council, Healing Through Remembering, Co-operation Ireland, the Nerve Centre.
