Published: January 2005

Details:
Armagh College commissioned the Institute for Conflict Research (ICR) in partnership with Trademark to investigate the perception of sectarian and racist chill factors among the staff and employees within the college. The fieldwork for the study was carried out among staff between October and December 2005.
The college is located in Armagh City an area which although experiencing an increasing amount of mixed residential areas in the east still remains predominantly segregated. This segregated housing has according to the local population provided a comfort zone for people to live in an area with the same values (Shared Future Consultation, 2003). Research in Armagh has highlighted sectarian attitudes within the area especially in rural districts where there is a strong tradition that land should not be sold to 'the other side'; (Morrow, 1996). This research ascertained if these attitudes in the wider community have impacted upon the college.
