- Dr Stephen HOPKINS co-conceived and co-edited this volume (approx. 60,000 words) with Prof. Graham DAWSON (University of Brighton) and Jo DOVER (Foundation for Peace, Warrington). He co-wrote (50%) the 7,000-word Introduction with Dawson and contributed a single-authored (100%) 8,500-word chapter ('The Memoir-writing of the Wilson and Callaghan governments: the Labour Party and constitutional policy in Northern Ireland'). Additionally, he edited 14 of the book's 24 chapters, produced by both academic contributors from a range of disciplines (Politics, Law, History, Media and Communications) and non-academic contributors (victims/survivors of violence, activists and campaigners) to ensure the cohesiveness of the interdisciplinary volume. This volume originated from a conference in Brighton in 2012 (co-organised by Hopkins, Dawson and Dover). It produced the first comprehensive attempt to address the complex legacies and memories of the Northern Ireland conflict (or 'Troubles') in Great Britain, and it consciously brought together academic scholars with contributions from activists, artists, writers and individuals with direct personal experience of the conflict.
