Civic Participation of Immigrants in IrelandSummary: As already indicated in the body of this report, very little has been accomplished with regard to research on immigrant civic participation. This would also imply the existence of a very few institutions and researchers in Ireland who can be considered specialists in this field. The leading institutions/departments in this field in Ireland are: 1) Department of Social Policy and Social Work University College Dublin Belfield Dublin 4 Ireland Telephone: +353-(0)1 716-8419 / 716-8511 Fax: +353-(0)1 716-1197 2) Department of Sociology University College Dublin Belfield Dublin 4 Ireland Tel: +353-1-716 8510 | e-mail: sociology@ucd.ie Dr Brian Fanning, who co-authored the two reports on immigrants and electoral politics, is based in the Department of Social Policy and Social Work while Alice Feldman who has taken academic and activist interest in the subject-matter is based in the Department of Sociology. This is the reason both Departments are highlighted as the top, and perhaps the only, specialist institutions in Ireland. Leading experts 1) Dr Bryan Fanning Department of Social Policy and Social Work University College Dublin (see above) Email: bryan.fanning@ucd.ie Dr Fanning co-authored two reports on immigrant political participation published by the African Solidarity Centre in 2003 and 2004. The reports have been reviewed in the main body of this report. 2) Dr Alice Feldman Department of Sociology University College Dublin (see above) Email: alicefeldman@yahoo.com
Civic participation in Ireland – leading institutionsMany universities and colleges in Ireland have dabbled in and out of this field of study and at present it is difficult to pinpoint the specialist institutions. Generally, some member of staff of political science departments in these institutions have tended to concentrate on elements of political participation while the sociology, social work and community development departments have tended to concentrate on the other areas of civic participation. However, there is no evidence of extensive research or publications by any university or college in Ireland. Library and Achieve searches have also not revealed evidence of research or publications. For the same reasons listed above it is difficult to say who the experts are in the general field of civic participation in Ireland. The interest that many researchers and academics in universities and colleges here have shown is limited, not concerted or coordinated and therefore not focussed. Most professionals that have investigated this area has subsumed it under other major investigations or labelled it differently. It is most likely that there would be some response if there was a well-advertised call for collaboration on civic participation projects of various kinds. Immigration in Ireland – leading institutionsSummary: Academic studies relating to immigration in Ireland have been diffused among many institutions and colleges. The only specialist institute for the study of migration, the Irish Centre for Migration Studies (http://migration.ucc.ie), located in the University of Cork, ceased to operate as a separate and semi-autonomous unit in 2003. Some of its activities and personnel have been transferred to the Department of Geography in the same university. For this reason, the Geography Department of this university would qualify as one of the leading institutions in the migration field in Ireland. Its activities cover both immigration and emigration and immigrants and emigrants. 1) MPhil in Ethnic and Racial Studies, Department of Sociology, University of Dublin, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland. Tel +353 1 608 2766 Fax +353 1 677 1300 The unit is located within the Department of Sociology, Trinity College, and Dublin. Its director, Dr Ronit Lentin, has done extensive work on immigrants, especially women and Jews. She has also coordinated major conferences and research projects relating to migration and immigrants in Ireland. Many students of this programme have completed their final dissertation on themes related to migration and immigrant/minority ethnic groups. 2) Dublin City University The Intercultural Workplace Project (www.dcu.ie/themes/international/iwp) Theme Leaders Office Dublin City University Glasnevin Dublin 9

Through strategic, cross-sector alliances, the research team will bring to bear education, business studies, law, psychology, sociology, health studies and intercultural specialists and will conduct research in the following areas: Needs analyses of migrant workers and their families Surveys of existing diversity/intercultural training programmes with a view to establishing best practice; Ongoing mapping and monitoring of media coverage of immigrant issues; Quantitative analysis of the recruitment, placement and work experience Analysis and monitoring of the legal European immigration framework Development of ‘diversity proofing’ policies and practices. This includes collaboration with a pan-European network associated with the European Intercultural Workplace Project, of which DCU is the coordinator. DCU will also publish the Irish Migration, Race and Social Transformation Review (first issue due January 2006), which IWP co-edits with the Migration & Citizenship Research Initiative (MCRI) at UCD. 3) Dublin Institute for Technology Centre for Transcultural Research and Media Practice DIT School of Media Aungier Street Dublin 2

The Centre has developed several databases and archives, as well as cross-sector partnerships nationally and internationally.
