Benefits to the Community

By having access to the Institute at weekly seminars, members of the community have the opportunity to participate in the world of the University, to hear the latest thinking and consider the results of the newest research, to debate with speakers on the issues raised, to make acquaintance with scholars, both of whose home is here and those who come from abroad and to bring their own experience of the world outside Queen’s into the Institute. Strong links with community groups can be forged in this way, and the already enduring links between the Institute and such bodies as the Federation for Ulster Local Studies, the Community Relations Council and the Cultural Traditions Group, as well as with schools and institutes in Queen’s and other universities, strengthened amd emphasised. The Institute is in the position to serve as a kind of broker between the world of the University and the outside world.

Speakers

Speakers include the Institute’s Research Fellows, members of the University who wish to communicate their ongoing research and invited members of the community.
