Shared Space

The Community Relations Council has published a new research journal on peace, conflict and community relations in Northern Ireland. Called Shared Space the journal aims to publish articles based on current and recent academic research which will add to the process of learning to deal with conflict in a divided society. Many of the articles are based on research funded by CRC awards. This first issue, launched in September 2005, contains articles by Neil Jarman (ICR) on the development of new interface areas, David Russell (CRC) on strategies for making Belfast a shared city, Patricia Lundy and Mark McGovern (UU) on a community-based truth-telling process, Dirk Schubotz and Paula Devine (QUB) on young people's attitudes to community relations and Helen Lewis (UU) on the role of NGOs in assisting marginalised groups.

Shared Space is edited by Ray Mullan, CRC's Director of Communications, and is available, price £4.99, from the Community Relations Resources Centre. The next issue is due for publication in Spring 2006.
