Our research transforms the lives of people living in post-conflict communities around the world. As a university in Northern Ireland, our lived experience of conflict in society drives our research excellence in peace and reconciliation.
Our experts in Sociology, Education, Law and Politics & International Studies are exploring how shared education can break down barriers between divided communities. Our research investigates how to deal with the legacy of a troubled past and the importance of placing the rights of survivors and victims at the heart of the debate. And we examine the benefits of engaging different communities in the exploration of their histories to tell a story that goes beyond binary identities.
Our local experiences have helped us to produce global research into peace after conflict. This research has transformed lives and communities. And that’s why, in our mission to build cohesion in post-conflict societies, research is just the start of what we do.
