Title
Journeys of Interaction: Shared Schooling in Quebec and Northern Ireland
Abstract
The authors compare experiences of shared schooling in societies with two distinctive traits: first, a history of inter-community conflict and isolation (Northern Ireland); and second, a segregated school system (Quebec). The authors analyze issues arising from experiences of inter-community contact in shared schools — in one case, bringing Anglophones and Francophones together (Quebec) and, in the other, Protestants and Catholics (Northern Ireland). Research data from both contexts is drawn upon to reflect on how this experience is lived. The authors use the metaphor of a journey to capture what it represents for those involved.
