Transitional justice in a rural perspective: a critical examination of the experiences of victimhood in rural areas of Northern Ireland Seanin Little (24292964) PUREID: 689679353 Rural transitional justice victimhood northern ireland conflict gender silence agency advocacy community place identity This thesis provides a critical analysis of how conflict-related victimhood is constructed, experienced, and reproduced in rural communities in Northern Ireland. The findings challenge assumptions that rural areas were less affected by conflict and highlight varied dynamics of trauma, memory, and resilience shaped by rural settings. Specifically, the research shows the importance of treating the rural as a localised case study by revealing intimate, place-based experiences often silenced or overlooked by urban-centric policies and processes.<br><br><i>Thesis is embargoed until 31 July 2031.</i> 2026-10-01T16:12:33Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32805839.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Transitional_justice_in_a_rural_perspective_a_critical_examination_of_the_experiences_of_victimhood_in_rural_areas_of_Northern_Ireland/32805839 All Rights Reserved Open Access after 2031-07-31
