The world would just fall apart if there’s no respect at all”
The term ‘respect for diversity’ has gained prominence in many policy and curricular developments aimed at promoting reconciliation and pluralism. To explore the understandings of ‘respect for diversity’ held by children in a society that has both emerged from conflict and is increasingly multicultural, 15 group interviews were conducted with 7–11-year-old children in Northern Ireland. The behavioural aspects of respect for diversity articulated …
Education as humanisation
In this literature review, we explore the potential role of education in supporting peacebuilding and societal transformation after violent conflict. Following a critical analysis of the literature published by academics and practitioners, we identify the notion of humanisation (as in the seminal works of Paulo Freire and others) as a unifying conceptual core. Peacebuilding education as humanisation is realised by critical reflection and dialogue…

Education as humanisation
In the context of post-conflict and divided societies working towards building peace, it has been widely recognised that education can play a critical part in either fermenting community division o
Global citizenship as education for peacebuilding in a divided society
In post-conflict and divided societies, global citizenship education has been described as a central element of peacebuilding education, whereby critical pedagogy is seen as a tool to advance students’ thinking, transform their views and promote democratic behaviours. The present study investigates understandings of and attitudes to global citizenship and the challenges faced in its implementation. Teacher interviews highlight lack of time and re…

Acculturation and religion in schools
This paper aims to explore the relationship between religious identity, acculturation strategies and perceptions of acculturation orientation in the school context amongst young people from minority belief backgrounds. Based on a qualitative study including interviews with 26 young people from religious minority belief backgrounds in Northern Ireland, it is argued that acculturation theory provides a useful lens for understanding how young people…
Citizenship education in divided societies
This article aimed to investigate in what ways teachers' developing understandings of citizenship education in a divided society reflect discourses around national citizenship and controversial issues. Based on thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 13 post-primary teachers in Northern Ireland undertaking an in-service programme in citizenship, findings indicate that the controversial nature of past conflict maintains its sensitivit…

Education for global citizenship in a divided society? Young people's views and experiences
Global citizenship education has been suggested as a means of overcoming the limitations of national citizenship in an increasingly globalised world. In divided societies, global citizenship education is especially relevant and problematic as it offers the opportunity to explore identities and conflict in a wider context. This paper therefore explores young people's understandings of global citizenship in Northern Ireland, a divided society emerg…
L’éducation à la citoyenneté dans des contextes de division
Ce texte propose un examen des particularités de la citoyenneté et de l’éducation à la citoyenneté au Québec et en Irlande du Nord, en comparant les concepts clés et les cadres théoriques qui sous-tendent l’éducation à la citoyenneté dans ces deux sociétés divisées dont l’une peut être décrite comme relativement paisible, et l’autre, comme se dégageant lentement d’un climat de violence politique. Les auteures examinent les théories pertinentes su…
The Need for Human Rights Education in Northern Ireland
Internationally, human rights education is seen as 1 way of promoting active citizenship and, ultimately, social justice and peace. For the past 30 years, Northern Ireland has been characterized by political conflict and community divisions. With the continuation of the peace process, human rights have been identified as an essential component of the efforts to improve community relations and to achieve a lasting peace. As part of its responsibil…
Intergroup Contact, Forgiveness, and Experience of “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland
Two studies used random sample surveys to test the “contact hypothesis” on intergroup attitudes of Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. In Study 1, archival data from two different surveys in 1989 ( N = 310 Catholics, 422 Protestants) and 1991 ( N = 319 Catholics, 478 Protestants) showed that contact was positively related to attitudes toward denominational mixing. Study 2 ( N = 391 Catholics, 647 Protestants) explored predictors of int…

Conflict, Contact, and Education in Northern Ireland
This article outlines educational responses to the conflict in Northern Ireland designed to promote intergroup harmony. Current research about the impact of these programs on children and young people is also reviewed to draw conclusions for practitioners in formal and informal educational settings who want to use intergroup contact to implement education for peace in the most effective way. The contact hypothesis has provided the theoretical fra…
Moving out of conflict
As the integrated education movement in Northern Ireland passes its twenty‐first anniversary, it is pertinent to explore the legacy of mixed Catholic and Protestant schooling. This paper summarises the findings of different studies regarding the impact of integrated education in Northern Ireland on social identity, intergroup attitudes and forgiveness and reconciliation. The research is discussed in relation to its implications for the theory and…
Explaining Social Change and Identity Management Strategies
For many years, social psychological research has tried to explain the social dynamics of intergroup conflict and individual and group differences in engagement in intergroup conflict. We argue here that, for this work to progress, a broader interpretation is required. Focusing on individual and collective identity management strategies to cope with social change, social identity theory (SIT) is reviewed and limitations of the theory are pointed …
Social Identity Theory and the Authoritarian Personality Theory in South Africa
Social identity theory assumes that individuals and collectives apply identity management strategies in order to cope with threatened social identities. It is argued here that an integration of social identity theory and the authoritarian personality theory may help to investigate identity management strategies for minority and majority groups. It was intended to investigate predictors of identity management strategies applied by students at the …
