Young Children’s Social Identity in The Border Region of Ireland
نویسندگان
چکیده
The participants in this study of young children’s social identity in the border region of Ireland, reside in several areas along both sides of the border separating Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The settings ranged between pre-school (3/4 years) and 6/7 years. The key criterion for selection of the participants was that they crossed the border to avail of, mainly, educational/child-care provision. The children were presented with a range of stimuli depicting governmental and social institutions in both political jurisdictions that may have had an impact on their daily lives, including representations of the concept of ethnicity and political division in Ireland. The results will be discussed in light of competing viewpoints and explanations surrounding the developing child’s awareness and understanding of such political and social division.
