>Dear All,
>
>Due to living and working in Belfast my research interests have been
>closely tied to the theme of sectarian demarcation and ethnic separation.
>The medium through which these elements have been explored have included
>analysis of ethnic heterogeneity, Loyalism, Republicanism, the political
>economy of conflict resolution and, dare I say it, sport.
>
>Ian Shuttleworth, Rob Kithchin and I founded the Socio-Spatial Analysis
>Research Unit at Queen's University in order to create a research arena
>dedicated to the examination of disadvantage, community-led regeneration
>and social exclusion. At present we are working on commissioned research
>projects dedicated to an examination of the effects of violence upon
>production, consumption and mobility and analyses of the effect of job
>creation strategies upon the registered and unregistered unemployed
>people.
>
>Anyone interested in Northern Ireland may want to look at the recent
>special edition of Political Geography edited by Neville Douglas and
>myself.
>
>Also in relation to this mornings debate on sport and masculinity see A.
>Bairner 'Up to their knees' Football, Sectarianism, Masculinity and
>Protestant Working-Class Identity in P. Shirlow and McGovern M (eds) Who
>are the People? Unionism, Protestantism and Loyalism in Northern Ireland
>(PLuto Press: London).
