Panel War Studies Working Group

Description

Northern Ireland continues to be used as a case study globally regarding how to combat “terorrism”/non-state violence and initiate peace processes. This panel asks what lessons are being lost through the marginalisation of some voices from dominant campaign histories. Compounded by the renewed focus on Northern Irish history since the centenary of the Irish War of Independence, this panel will open up a new conversation about practices of state-sanctioned violence during the Troubles and their representation in mainstream histories of the conflict. Contributors will be asking questions about the ethics of knowledge practices, for example intelligence activities, and of knowledge production, including examining who are deemed valid narrators and whose voices are left out.
