The United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union has posed profound challenges for the Northern Ireland peace process and significant implications for the constitutional future of the region and politics in Ireland. These challenges have triggered intense engagement from political leaders and scholars on both sides of the Atlantic, with critical alliances emerging between Ireland and the US to protect the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. To examine these challenges, Villanova University’s Center for Irish Studies will present “The Northern Ireland Peace Process after Brexit,” a one-day virtual symposium on Friday, March 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This symposium brings together key figures from Northern Ireland and the US who have been at the forefront of the peace process, in both research and practice. Speakers include keynote addresses by Monica McWilliams, PhD, emeritus professor at the University of Ulster, and Brendan O'Leary, PhD, Lauder Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as U.S. Democratic Rep. Brendan F. Boyle of Pennsylvania, who has been a pivotal figure in US congressional efforts to protect the Good Friday Agreement during Brexit.
