State-Sponsored Terror And Security Force Collusion In Northern Ireland, Nate Keenan
State-Sponsored Terror And Security Force Collusion In Northern Ireland, Nate Keenan
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
When I began to develop my topic I knew I wanted to study government collusion. The problem with that topic is the enormous undertaking it would require and the research only allows for three weeks. Another that I did know was that I wanted to know more about the work that the Pat Finucane Centre (PFC) does and how they deal with the families that are looking for answers concerning the deaths of their loved ones. I decided to ignore the paper topic for the time I was in Derry and focus on making the PFC the center of my …
Peace Through Music: Music And Multiculturalism In Fiji, Felice Carey
Peace Through Music: Music And Multiculturalism In Fiji, Felice Carey
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
The music of Fiji is as diverse as its population, and acts as both a mirror and catalyst to the culture. Indo-Fijians and indigenous Fijians have been the main players in Fiji’s multiculturalism, and are therefore focused upon. This paper explores the ways in which music is used to extol the benefits and cope with the problems of Fiji’s multiculturalism through cross-cultural listening (viewed from a perspective of radio) and fusion music.

Ultimately, I produced an anthology of poems that capture my responses to the natural environments that I experienced. …

Out Of The Darkness: A Look At Violence And Politics Through The Experience Of The Uvf, Alec Chiquoine
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
The decision to undertake this specific project was relatively easy for me. I came to Ireland ready to learn more about the conflict, but quickly realized I hardly knew about, let alone understood, an entire element within it, that of the Loyalist paramilitaries. As I learned more through classes, lectures, and meeting individuals who had been involved with these groups, or had dealings with them, my knowledge grew along with my curiosity. Who were these people who were so willing to fight, kill and die for a cause, the preservation of a union with Britain, which I found hard to …
