Mrs Mary Delargy Before joining the University of Ulster in 2001, Mary Delargy was a librarian at the Linen Hall library in Belfast. Having worked both as a cross-community Irish teacher and established library services for the Ulster-Scots community in Belfast, her natural home at the University is in the Academy for Irish Cultural Heritages with its emphasis on all the heritages of the island of Ireland. Current research focuses on ethnic minorities in the public space, how minority communities are perceived by the host community and how they feel that they can best make use of the public space to give themselves a visible presence in the host community for example through festivals and other cultural events. Much of the research involves conducting interviews with members of minority ethnic communities about their experiences of life in Northern Ireland. PhD thesis (commenced October 2005) explores the issue of British and Irish identity among minority communities in Northern Ireland. Just completed researching teaching multiculturalism in three schools in the Derry City Council area. (Community Relations Council funded project).
