Apologies, abuses and dealing with the past: a socio-legal analysis

Using Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as a case study, this project will investigate the role of apologies for harms caused by paramilitary violence, institutional child abuse and the economic crisis. It will examine a range of wider themes concerning the way apologies have been constructed, delivered and received beyond the state. Despite acceptance that apologies are important in dealing with past wrongs, in practice the theoretical literature is not often informed by thorough empirical assessment of the views of apologisers, victims or the wider public. Through investigating the perspectives of perpetrators, victims and community, the study hopes to develop a better understanding of the role of apologies in dealing with the past. Existing research on the subject has been restricted to disciplinary silos. Working on the premise that apologies are often shaped by legal implications, the project hopes to develop a bridge-head between law and other fields including politics, philosophy, anthropology, history, sociology and psychology.
