Professor Dominic Bryan

School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics

Prof Bryan’s work focuses on power and public space. He is interested in how identity is expressed through rituals and symbols in the public sphere and how these activities bond social groups and create conflict. His particular specialism has been examining conflict and civic space in Northern Ireland with reference to parades, flags and historical narratives. This research has led to a long term engagement with public policy.
