10 December 2010

The latest issue of CRC’s research journal Shared Space (issue 10) has just been published. This is a special issue produced in association with the School of Sociology at Queen’s University Belfast and has been compiled and edited by Professor Madeleine Leonard and Dr Martina McKnight.

The articles are based on some of the papers presented at a conference held at the university in June 2010 on ‘Growing Up in Divided Societies’.

The six articles chosen for Shared Space have a particular relevance for community relations in Northern Ireland and reflect  the challenge for young people in a society coming out of conflict. 

The articles are:

• ‘Caught up in the past’? The views of 16-year olds on community relations in Northern Ireland
• Teenagers’Perceptions of Belfast as a Divided and/or Shared City
• Differentiation, difference and denial: Drinking in divided societies
• ‘Stuck’ between ceasefires and peacebuilding: Finding positive responses to young men’s experiences of violence and personal safety
• Sharing Education through schools working together
• Re-framing conflict and conflict resolution as ‘migration’ and schoolchildren as ‘migrants’: teaching ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland.

Articles from Shared Space can be viewed or downloaded from the CRC website http://www.community-relations.org.uk/services/publications/?filter=S.  Hard copies are also available from CRC.  For free subscription to Shared Space (published twice annually) contact info@nicrc.org.uk
