Abstract

As Northern Ireland marks 25 years since the Good Friday Agreement was signed, the political afterlife of the conflict persists in affecting the everyday lives of communities, kept alive through individual and institutional memories and stories. With state archives continuing to be released and living actors in the conflict still available to interview, they offer opportunities and challenges for researchers trying to understand the Troubles to navigate. This paper reflects on our different research encounters considering how our research has been affected by questions of access and positionality in the making of new and critical knowledges on the conflict in Northern Ireland.
