The Peace Process: Layers of Meaning
About the Peace Process Project
The main project website is www.peaceprocesshistory.org
Professor Seán McConville and Dr Anna Bryson are leading a three-year (2010-2013) oral history project on the Peace Process in association with Trinity College Dublin and Dundalk Institute of Technology, funded by the EU's PEACE III programme.
The project will involve the collection of 100 heritage interviews from key figures in peace & reconciliation over the last forty and more years. Interviewees will be drawn from Ireland, North and South, as well as Britain, the US and elsewhere. Capturing testimony on the most traumatic and significant events in Anglo-Irish history, the project aims to avert a major loss to national heritage.
The award will also meet the cost of conducting three exemplary oral history projects inter-communally and cross-border, and the production of a book and other publications on conflict resolution.
This project links participatory action research and academic endeavour. It is a hybrid operation that will forge new and lasting alliances between institutions of international repute, border-region colleges of further education, local history networks, religious organisations, paramilitaries of all persuasions, fraternal and cultural associations, voluntary groups and both local and national archives.
The principal project office is based at Dundalk Institute of Technology, with additional offices in Queen Mary, University of London and Trinity College, Dublin.
