Contested Societies

Ashby building under purple sky

Professor Tony Gallagher leads this research theme which seeks to understand the sources, manifestations and impact of ethno-religious, national and social divisions in divided and transitioning societies.

Our particular interests relate to underpinning theories of conflict, the role of religion in divided societies, the impact of growing up in a divided society, the role of education and schools in promoting more positive intergroup relations in deeply divided societies, shared education, and issues relating to identity, culture and inclusion.
