MPhil in Reconciliation Studies, Trinity College Dublin

The need for social healing and peace-building in societies that have suffered violent conflicts highlights both the necessity and the difficulty of political reconciliation. Even as the importance of reconciliation becomes ever more apparent, however, so too does uncertainty and disagreement among both practitioners and scholars about what reconciliation means and how it can be achieved. The Belfast-based MPhil in Reconciliation Studies is designed to address the challenge of developing a fuller, more complex, and more systematic understanding of reconciliation through engaged academic study.
