Description:
Kara Dempsey's new book, An Introduction to the Geopolitics of Conflict, Nationalism, and Reconciliation in Ireland, examines ethnoterritorial conflict and reconciliation in Ireland from the 1916 Rising to Brexit, including the production and consequences of the island’s two distinct political units. Highlighting key geographic themes of bordering, unity, division, and national narratives, it explores how geopolitical space has been employed over time to (re)define divided national allegiances throughout Ireland and within Irish–British relations. The analysis draws from in-depth interviews and archival research, and spans supranational, state, municipal, neighborhood, and individual scales. The book pays particular attention to uneven power structures, statecraft, perceived truths, lived experiences, reconciliation efforts, and renegotiations of national narratives in the production of symbolic landscapes, divided cities, and "shared" space.
This session will explore the themes in Kara's book and the broader relevance of her work for a variety of topics, including conflict, geopolitics, nationalism, landscape analysis, research methods, and geographic education.
