Our Impact | Research | Queen's University Belfast (original) (raw)

Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences

Our understandings of conflict and peace, deeply rooted in the experience of society in Northern Ireland are a key driver of our research priorities, both as we continue to support and cement peace in our own society but as we use our knowledge and experience to help other conflict affected societies across the world. Through Arts, Humanities and Social Science research on the legacy of conflict, education and peacebuilding, the rights of children, or the role of women in politics, Queen’s is committed to playing its part, locally and globally, in supporting the development of Inclusive and Cohesive Communities.

The creative and cultural life of societies around the world forms a key part of our research portfolio. The protection of language, the poetry and prose of our local writers, or the interpretation of theatre, music and film are the passion of research clusters at Queen’s.

Whether this relates to the Irish language, the work of the Seamus Heaney Centre, or our interpretations of Shakespeare and cinema, we continue to make an impact, collaborating with partners in Northern Ireland and across the globe.
