UISCE Scholars

The UISCE Scholar Experience

UISCE’s aim is “to creatively and sensitively explore the resistance to peacebuilding as resources for transformation”, and it is to this aim that UISCE Scholars work.

UISCE is establishing links with third level institutions and peacebuilding organisations from diverse cultural and political backgrounds around the world, to assemble a body of ten Masters or Doctoral students to undertake research that furthers their studies and advances UISCE’s peacebuilding programmes in Ireland.

The type of research currently under consideration includes:

  • The study of history at secondary school level and subsequent engagement with democracy as adults.

  • Policing, human rights and religion in Northern Ireland.

  • Post-Brexit transforming the Irish / UK / EU frontier into local social, cultural and economic advantage.

  • The design of a secondary school curriculum and international certificate in peacebuilding.

  • Brexit - a blueprint for peace in Europe.

  • Dynamics affecting not-for-profit engagement with peacebuilding.

  • Engaging with sectarianism at board level.

  • Enniskillen as an Irish literary hub.

  • The emergence of social trauma in literature.

Scholars usually come for a period of 6 to 24 months.
