Tuesday, November 16, 12noon-1:30pm [5pm-6:30pm Greenwich Mean Time], this on-line event requires advance registration

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, comparative research, and over 110 hours of face-to-face interviews with a diverse range of political, academic, civil society, and community actors across Northern Ireland, “A Troubled Sleep: Risk and resilience in Contemporary Northern Ireland” revisits one of the world’s most deeply divided societies to analyze Northern Ireland’s current vulnerabilities, and points of resilience, as an allegedly “post-conflict” society.

With a forward by Senator George Mitchell, “A Troubled Sleep” presents deep insight into what happens when identity politics prevail over democracy, when a paralysis in governance leads to a political vacuum for extremist voices to exploit, when de facto social segregation becomes normalized, when acclimatization to violence becomes a generational legacy, and when questions of “who we are” become secondary to “who we are not.”
