McGlynn, Claire – Child Care in Practice, 2004
Although violence in Northern Ireland has been "neither halted or prevented" (Tomasevski, 2003a, p. 7), few would deny that the scale of the conflict has been reduced. This paper argues that a vital purpose of education in Northern Ireland should be peacebuilding and the promotion of social cohesion. In particular, the paper looks at the…

McBride, Paul W. – Ethnic Groups, 1981
The insularity of Italian Americans is evident in their relationship with the Catholic church in America. By insisting on remaining Catholic, but only on their own terms, the Italians have won no support either from other Catholics, the church hierarchy, or the Protestants who hoped to convert them to Protestantism.

The Sixteen Personality Factor questionnaire and the California Psychological Inventory were administered to (N=42) Roman Catholic seminarians and (N=42) male Protestant divinity students.

Using data from Derry/Londonderry English, the impact of social factors on language variation is examined.

Milliken, John; Gallagher, Tony – Educational Management & Administration, 1998
Although ongoing conflicts in Northern Ireland are not simply about religion, the primary social division lies between the Protestant and Catholic communities.

Yates, Barbara A. – History of Education Quarterly, 1980
Traces the influence of missionary views concerning African educability upon educational practices, 1879-1908. Concludes that the amount and kind of schooling missionaries provided reflected patriarchal goals and the missionaries' aversion to the production of a literary or technically oriented urban African elite.

Dickinson, Greg M. – School Business Affairs, 1997
In Ontario, Canada, the 19th-century educational imperative of indoctrinating public school students in a common Christianity became intolerable, given the province's increasingly pluralistic population. Most vestiges of religious practice and instruction have been swept from public schools. Religious minorities' preference for a unitary,…

Donnelly, Caitlin – Educational Management & Administration, 2000
Presents findings of research into the role of church nominees on school governing bodies in Northern Ireland, based on data from a wider 3-year study of school ethos and governance.

Starks, Brian; Robinson, Robert V. – Social Forces, 2005
Sociologists have documented a convergence of Protestants and Catholics in their valuation of autonomy and obedience as desirable traits for children from 1958 through 1991. By the 1980s, Alwin (1986) found that variation in such values within Protestants and Catholics was greater than that between them. Analyzing the GSS from 1986 to 2002, we…
