CPCR & DFA host event: Mapping Peace and Conflict Research in Ireland
The Centre for Peace and Conflict at UCD, in conjunction with the Department of Foreign Affairs, is organising a workshop to map research on peace and conflict-related themes being carried out on the island of Ireland, with a focus on current trends in conflict research guided by geopolitical developments.
Peace and conflict studies are of paramount importance in Ireland, given its complex history and ongoing peace-building efforts. To develop a deeper understanding of the different areas of expertise, we propose organizing a mapping event as a platform for researchers to map out the diverse topics and issues being studied in the field of peace and conflict research in Ireland.
We are interested in sharing knowledge and developing an understanding of the policy-orientated work being conducted in order to be able to provide policy-makers and practitioners with an overview of the expertise available to them. We are particularly interested in research covering the following areas:
• Hunger and conflict
• Climate and security
• Gender and conflict (WPS)
• Conflict-related sexual violence
• Humanitarian-development-peace nexus
• Conflict mediation and peace processes
• Accountability and transitional justice
• Countering/preventing violent extremism (C/PVE)
• Engaging in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
• Peacebuilding (post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation)
The primary objectives of the workshop are:
• Mapping expertise: Create an inventory of the various research areas, topics, and issues within the peace and conflict studies domain to provide policy-makers and practioners with an outline of available expertise.
• Networking: Foster connections and collaborations among academics, institutions, and organisations involved in peace and conflict research.
The symposium welcomes participation from:
• Academics and researchers from universities and research institutions on the island of Ireland.
• Doctoral candidates working on peace and conflict-related topics.
