| Outline of Research at the Start |
Focusing on Northern Ireland, the location of one of the most high-profile violent ethnonational conflicts in modern times, this study aims to (a) explore what effects intergroup contact, in the context of local peacebuilding initiatives, might have on the ethnic and political identities of ex-paramilitary prisoners and combatants, and (b) how any effects might be promotive of peace both in Northern Ireland and in ethnic conflict situations across the globe.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Due to COVID, research was inhibited but substantial data was collected. I was able to collect data from 14 Irish Republican Army ex-prisoners, which totals around 30 hours/200 A4 pages of transcript data.
Data was used to publish a peer reviewed article in the Journal of Global Studies looking at how IRA ex-prisoners used peacebuilding to enhance the Irish peace process which is in a stalemate.
Data is now being analyzed in order to understand the role of peacebuilding in ethno-political identity change in a post-conflict situation. Using Todds concept of Individual Identity Innovation, it has been found that peace building intergroup work results in participants increasing the boundaries of their ethnic group to encompass elements of the other ethnic group with whom they were in conflict.
