KEY NOTE SPEAKER: PROF MARY HICKMAN

While collective identities remain crucial to everyday life, their quality and character have arguably been subject to significant change, in response to a range of major economic, social and political transformations affecting the island of Ireland. This one-day conference seeks to explore the quality and extent of such changes, across a range of domains.

We welcome papers that address the extent of stability and change in contexts such as:

migration,
political identities
gender and sexuality
family and intimacy
social class
emotions and social norms
citizenship
religion
conflict and peace

Please send abstracts (150 words) on any of the themes above to L.Smyth@qub.ac.uk by 20^th March 2015.

Organised by: Prof. Louise Ryan, Dr. Maria Power, and Dr Lisa Smyth
