Objective
Egalitarian World Initiative (EWI) group that comprises a large inter-disciplinary and cross-university team of academics interested in developing a more ethically oriented perspective within their own core disciplines.
The EWI was initiated in 2004 by the Equality Studies Centre, UCD School of Social Justice and now includes 78 full time academics and 13 thematic based research clusters with members drawn from all Colleges and 17 Schools in the University. It is an evolving and ambitious network engaged in an inter-disciplinary work and social change programme that spans research, teaching, policy development and outreach, and is oriented to strengthening the linkages and synergies between them.
While the EWI at UCD has a critical mass of researchers and the nucleus of a fine research and teaching team for the development of equality-sensitive research, it needs to augment its expertise if it is to become firmly embedded throughout the University as a significant inter-disciplinary force that can have an impact not only nationally but also at the European level, and through Europe at the global level.
The three- year Marie Curie project will build on the intellectual and organisational infrastructure offered by the EWI to enhance UCD's institutional capacity in egalitarian theory, practice and equality-sensitive research methodologies, and policy practices. It will do so by providing advanced theoretical and methodological training to the 78 academic members from all 5 UCD colleges in the 13 research clusters in the EWI network.
The Marie Curie project will not only greatly enhance the capacities of the EWI network and the whole concept of interdisciplinarity associated with it, but it will also have a profound effect on the life of the University, on Irish society and ultimately on Europe by providing a powerhouse for European thinking on equality in Ireland within five years with the formation of a Global Justice and Equality Research Institute.
