项目摘要

This application is made under the Public Policy Call. It fulfils the principal aim of that scheme by bringing together arts and humanities researchers from a range of disciplines (history, Irish studies, social anthropology, politics, education, English literature and geography) to share their expertise with policy makers at devolved and local government level and stakeholders in the voluntary and non-governmental sectors to discuss how commemorations of the centenaries of the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme in Northern Ireland (NI) in 2016 can be facilitated to avoid heightening further inter-communal and ethnic tensions and to promote greater engagement with and understanding of the shared past.The principal objective of the application is to facilitate academics in contributing to the aims of the NI executive's strategy of May 2013 'Together Building a United Community' (TBAUC) which seeks to establish in NI: 'a united community, based on equality of opportunity, the desirability of good relations and reconciliation - one which is strengthened by its diversity, where cultural expression is celebrated and embraced and where everyone can live, learn, work and socialise together, free from prejudice, hate and intolerance.' This strategy recognises the significance of the Irish 'decade of centenaries', running from c. 1912 to 1923: 'The decade we have just entered will include a number of potentially sensitive anniversaries which we cannot ignore within the context of this Strategy ... and the way in which these events are marked will also have a significant influence on our continued journey towards a united community.'The second objective is to share the body of knowledge and expertise of the network's academic members with each other and with public bodies in NI that will have a key role in over-seeing and organising events to mark these historic centenaries, including:- The Office of First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM)- The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL)- Belfast City CouncilAnd policy and non-governmental organisations involved in improving cross-community and cross-border relations and promoting peace and reconciliation:- The Community Relations Council- Healing Through Remembering- Co-operation IrelandThe final objective is to invite experts in the areas of commemorative practice, contested commemoration in international situations similar to NI and public engagement with history and commemoration through education to establish best practice guidelines which will assist those organising and managing commemorative events.The network will address three key issues:1. The nature and purpose of commemoration.2. Comparative contested commemorations in an Irish and an international context.3. Shared engagement with a contested past through education and the shared use of public space for contested commemorations.The network will hold three workshops to address each of these issues and the findings will be disseminated in the form of:- policy briefing documents that will summarise the conclusions of each workshop- the presentation of findings to the DCAL committee of the NI Assembly- a seminar in the Knowledge Exchange Seminar Series organised by the Research and Information Service of the Assembly- summaries of the workshops posted on the 'Compromise After Conflict' blog hosted by the Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation and Social Justice at Queen's University- an article in Shared Space, the journal of the Community Relations Council- the PGCE History curriculum in the University of Ulster.This is a unique opportunity to raise awareness of the breadth of expertise represented by the network and apply it to the benefit of public policy. It will also inform the academics' research through their own role in advising on the commemorative process.

该申请是根据公共政策呼吁提出的。它通过汇集来自多个学科（历史、爱尔兰研究、社会人类学、政治、教育、英国文学和地理学）的艺术和人文研究人员，与权力下放和地方政府的政策制定者分享他们的专业知识，实现了该计划的主要目标各级以及志愿和非政府部门的利益攸关方讨论如何促进 2016 年复活节起义和北爱尔兰索姆河战役 (NI) 一百周年纪念活动，以避免进一步加剧社区间和种族间的紧张关系，并促进对共同过去的更多参与和理解。该应用程序的主要目标是促进学术界为实现 NI 执行官 2013 年 5 月的战略“共同建设一个团结的社区”的目标做出贡献”（TBAUC）力求在北爱尔兰建立：“一个团结的社区，基于机会均等、良好关系与和解的愿望——一个因其多样性而得到加强的社区，在这里，文化表达受到重视和拥抱，每个人都可以一起生活、学习、工作和社交，没有偏见、仇恨和不宽容。”这一战略认识到爱尔兰“百年十年”的重要性，从大约公元 1000 年开始。 1912 年至 1923 年：“我们刚刚进入的十年将包括许多潜在敏感的周年纪念日，在本战略的背景下我们不能忽视这些周年纪念日......而这些事件的标记方式也将对我们继续发展产生重大影响。”迈向团结社区的旅程。第二个目标是相互分享网络学术成员的知识和专业知识，并与北爱尔兰的公共机构分享，这些公共机构将在监督和组织活动以纪念这些历史性事件方面发挥关键作用。百年庆典，包括： - 首席部长和副首席部长办公室 (OFMDFM) - 文化、艺术和休闲部 (DCAL) - 贝尔法斯特市议会以及参与改善跨社区和跨境关系的政策和非政府组织并促进和平与和解：- 社区关系委员会- 通过记忆进行治愈- 爱尔兰合作组织最终目标是邀请纪念实践领域的专家，在类似于NI和国际形势下的有争议的纪念活动通过教育让公众参与历史和纪念活动，以制定最佳实践指南，帮助组织和管理纪念活动。该网络将解决三个关键问题：1．纪念的性质和目的2．爱尔兰和国际背景下有争议的纪念活动的比较。3．通过教育和共享公共空间进行有争议的纪念活动，共同参与有争议的过去。该网络将举办三个研讨会来解决这些问题，研究结果将以以下形式传播： - 政策简报文件，将总结每个研讨会的结论 - 向 NI 大会的 DCAL 委员会介绍研究结果 - 由大会研究和信息服务组织的知识交流研讨会系列中的研讨会 - 在“Compromise After”上发布的研讨会摘要女王大学冲突转化和社会正义研究所主办的“冲突”博客 - 社区关系委员会期刊《共享空间》上的一篇文章 - 阿尔斯特大学 PGCE 历史课程。这是一个独特的机会提高对网络所代表的专业知识广度的认识，并将其应用于公共政策的利益。它还将通过学者们在纪念过程中提供建议的作用，为他们的研究提供信息。
