Master in Reconciliation Studies

Welcome to the Master in Reconciliation Studies within the M.Phil. in Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation

The Reconciliation Studies specialism offers an inter-disciplinary approach to the challenges of social reconciliation in the aftermath of political conflict, drawing on social research, politics, theology, ethics and civil society discourse. Particular attention is given to ethnic conflicts, and the role of religion in such conflicts and in peacebuilding and reconciliation. Case studies typically include: Northern Ireland; South Africa; Zimbabwe; Rwanda; El Salvador; Guatemala; Israel/Palestine; Afghanistan; and Sri Lanka.

The programme incorporates study at Trinity's specialist cross-border School campus in Belfast, as well as the main campus in Dublin. It combines academic study and research with community involvement and reflection on life-experience.
