Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

My Identity: Joy Gerrard and Paul Seawright
Q: Paul, how has your move between documentary perspective and intimate, hands-on creation influenced your view of identity in your work?
It's a constant negotiation between being in the landscape, the act of making, and the way the final piece can carry multiple narratives, allowing viewers from different backgrounds to find their own meaning within the work.
ARINS: My Symbols or Our Symbols?
Q: What were the main findings regarding how framing affected Southern publics and Northern Catholics?
Southern publics and Northern Catholics showed more flexibility and positive shifts toward inclusive framing for several symbols, particularly the Commonwealth and the Red Hand of Ulster, whereas Northern Protestants tended to show less malleability to framing changes.
ARINS: My Symbols or Our Symbols?
Q: What were the aims and objectives of your research and the paper you produced?
The research aimed to understand how people's attitudes toward symbols change when those symbols are described exclusively versus inclusively, based on surveys in the North and South. It also sought to analyze the historical associations of each symbol and to examine potential policy implications for a united Ireland.
ARINS My Identity: Episode 7 with Jess Majekodunmi
Q: Did you find that in your study in Trinity, that there was a kind of initial shock, and your identity had a light shone on it from slightly different perspectives?
It was a slow evolution, but I started to learn about colonization and relating that to my own life and heritage.
ARINS My Identity: Episode 5 with Claire Mitchell
Q: What's your hope for the future of Irish language within Protestant, Unionist, and Loyalist communities?
Clare believes there has been a significant positive change regarding the Irish language within Protestant communities, highlighting that the language is no longer viewed as solely for one community.
