  • Entering Catholic West Belfast
    Chapter 1 A Walk of Life Entering Catholic West Belfast n a Friday afternoon in September 2004, shortly before returning home from Omy ethnographic fieldwork, I took my video camera and filmed a walk from the city centre into Catholic West Belfast up to the Beechmount area, where I had lived and conducted much of my research. I had come to Catholic West Belfast fourteen months prior with the intention of learning about locally prevailing senses of ethnic identity. Yet I soon found out that virtually every local Catholic I talked to seemed to see him- or herself as ‘Irish’, and apparently expected other locals to do the same. My open questions such as ‘What ethnic or national identity do you have?’ at times even irritated my interlocutors, not so much, as I figured out, because they felt like I was contesting their sense of identity but, to the contrary, because the answer ‘Irish’ seemed so obvious. ‘What else could I be?’ was a rhetorical question I often encountered in such conversations, indicating to me that, for many, Irish identity went without saying. If that was the case, then what did being Irish mean to these people? What made somebody Irish, and where were local senses of Irishness to be found? Questions like these became the focus of my investigations and constitute the overall subject of this book. One obvious entry point for addressing such questions consisted in attending to the ways in which Irishness was locally represented. Listening to how locals talked about their Irishness, keeping an eye on public representations by organizations and the media, and explicitly asking people about their Irishness in informal conversations and formal interviews all constituted ways of approaching this topic.

  • Investigating Links in Achievement and Deprivation (Iliad)
    Investigating Links in Achievement- and-Deprivation (ILiAD)- FINAL SUMMARY REPORT (Volume 3) i Research summary In 2012, a team of researchers from Queen’s University Belfast and Stranmillis University College was awarded funding for a three-year research project entitled ‘Investigating Links in Achievement and Deprivation’ (the ILiAD study). The ILiAD study aimed to understand some of the reasons for differential educational achievement within and between deprived areas in Northern Ireland (NI). Previous studies had concluded that there is a statistical relationship between deprivation and educational underachievement. As measures of deprivation and poverty increase, measures of educational underachievement also increase. Preliminary interrogation of secondary educational data sets for NI suggested that the factors involved in educational achievement within and between deprived areas may be more complex. This study aimed to plug this gap by exploring anomalies in educational performance among the most deprived Ward areas in NI. The ILiAD study is an in-depth, multi-level case study analysis of a sample of seven NI electoral Ward areas, selected on the basis of religious composition, measures of multiple deprivation and differentials in educational achievement. Findings obtained from the range of respondents within the seven Ward areas are supplemented by secondary data analysis of a variety of differential educational factors. Thematic findings associated with individual, home, community, school and structural factors are identified across the case sites that contribute towards understanding the dynamics and contributory factors to differential educational achievement for these seven Ward areas. Since qualitative, in-depth case study approach generates different kinds of insights from that of quantitative studies, no inferences or population-based recommendations can be made to Northern Ireland as a whole.
