Introduction

Welcome to the February edition of the ARK Newsletter. February is LGBT History month, and so in this edition of the newsletter, we highlight a selection of relevant ARK resources. And of course, we keep you to date with the latest ARK news and activities.
 

ARK resources for LGBT History Month

ARK resources for LGBT History Month
The ARK site contains a wealth of information on the key social and political issues in Northern Ireland. To mark LGBT History Month, here is a small selection of relevant ARK resources.

Historical documents

Update on ARK surveys

The fieldwork for the 2016 Northern Ireland Life and Times (NILT), Young Life and Times (YLT), and Kids' Life and Times (KLT) surveys is now complete. The results of the YLT and KLT surveys will be available online from 11 May 2017. The results of the NILT survey will be publicly available in mid-June.

Save the date! We are holding our annual seminar to launch the YLT and KLT survey results on 10 May 2017 (13.30-15.30) in the Canada Room at Queen's University Belfast. Full details will be available in the next ARK newsletter.

Expressions of interest invited for our 2017 surveys of young people

ARK is now inviting Expressions of interest for the 2017 survey of 16 year olds (Young Life and Times) and the 2017 survey of 10/11 year olds (Kids' Life and Times). Fieldwork for both surveys will take place in the autumn of 2017. The costs for the inclusion of questions are normally calculated on a modular basis. However, specific requests can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

If you would like to discuss how to fund or commission some questions, please get in touch with Dirk Schubotz (Young Life and Times) or Katrina Lloyd (Kids' Life and Times)

Welcome to Visiting Professor: Christine Wiezorek

Visiting Professor
From 15 February, we welcome Christine Wiezorek (Institute of Education, Justus Liebig University, Giessen) as a visiting Professor. Professor Wiezorek specialises in the pedagogy of youth. Her research has explored attitudes to migration, xenophobia and hate crime among young people, pedagogical interventions to tackle stereotyping, youth culture more generally, and the impact of parent-school relationships on young people's educational outcomes and attitudes.

Prof Wiezorek will be spending 7 weeks at the School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work at Queen's University where she will be working with the ARK team, especially those involved in YLT and KLT, to explore options for international collaborations.

Northern Ireland Elections results

If you're looking for the results of an election that took place in Northern Ireland since 1973, Northern Ireland Elections is the site to visit. The site is maintained by Nicholas Whyte, and contains information on local government, Assembly, Westminster and European elections.

Most recently, the site contains results of the Northern Ireland Assembly election held in May 2016. At that time, 108 MLAs were elected. In the forthcoming election on 2 March, only 90 MLAs will be elected. All results of the 2017 election will be available on the site as soon as possible.
