Keith Breen and I are organising the annual conference of the Association for Legal and Social Philosophy in 2012 on the theme of 'Freedom'
I am one of a team of QUB researchers involved in an international research project investigating Processes Influencing Democratic Ownership and Participation (PIDOP)
I have organised a number of workshops as part of research council funded seminar series: 'Religion, Conflict and Reconciliation' as part of an AHRC-ESRC funded seminar series, co-ordinated by Dr Jonathan Seglow (Royal Holloway), on the subject of 'Religion, Justice and Well-Being'; and 'Democracy, Division, and the Public Sphere' as part of an AHRC funded seminar series coordinated by Dr Gideon Calder (UW Newport) on 'Toleration and the Public Sphere'
in 2009-9 I co-ordinated, with Professor Shane O'Neill, an ESRC funded seminar series on the subject of The Politics of Recognition and the Dynamics of Social Conflict .
