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:

Justice: Making Ireland’s Peace Agreement Work.

Systemic Dynamics: Structural factors affecting Peacebuilding in Ireland.

School Kids: Peacebuilding and Secondary Education in Ireland.

Effective Curricula: The Study of History in School & Engagement with Democracy.

Policing: Human Rights, Religion and Policing in Northern Ireland.

Media: The Response-ability of Local Media in Building Peace.

Transforming Borders Post Brexit into Assets for Peace.

It’s in The Blood: Sociology, Psychology and Epigenetics in Peacebuilding.

Vocation: Development of life-long Commitment to Peacebuilding.

Global: An International Certificate in Understanding Resistances to Peacebuilding

A Literary Hub: Enniskillen

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