Part of a series of lectures and workshops organised in association with The Centre for Democracy and Peace Building (CDPB) and in partnership with the Centre for the Resolution of Intractable Conflict at Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford. These events are being launched to share the knowledge and experience of conflict and conflict amelioration in Northern Ireland and beyond and its relation to dissent and risk in contemporary British society.
The lectures bring together leading academics and practitioners to impart expertise and experiences that are relevant to policy makers, communities at risk and politicians in Great Britain. Particular emphasis will be upon conflict transformation, social justice, challenging ethnic asperity and analysis of the causes of violent extremism and how it can be undermined by progressive social change and thinking.
Communities at risk and the presentation of violence and ideological conflict is a key concern in most EU societies. This session will look at theories of risk, policies of risk management and the work of Northern Ireland Alternatives (NIA), an internationally acclaimed restorative justice group that grew out of conflict in Northern Ireland.
Speakers are listed below:
Professor Peter Shirlow FAcSS), (Blair Chair and Director, The Institute of Irish Studies, University of Liverpool),
Jennifer Hawthorne OBE, (Head of Community Cohesion, Northern Ireland Housing Executive),
Debbie Watters (Co-Director, Northern Ireland Alternatives and Vice Chair Northern Ireland Policing Board).
Further sessions will address the following topics:
23 February 2016: Hate Crime and Community Policing
23 March 2016: Social Media as a Driver of Conflict/Conflict Transformation
26 April 2016: Understanding and Countering Violent Extremism
25 May 2016: Challenging Conflict: Including Women
28 June 2016: Conflict and Culture
