The Marginality of ‘Irish Mormonism’: Confronting Irish Boundaries of Belonging’
Get PDFThis article builds upon existing literature which demonstrates the complex interconnections of Catholicism, Irishness, and whiteness in the Republic of Ireland. Using this multifaceted inter-relationship between religious, national, and racial identities as its starting point, this article analyses negotiations of Irishness,
community, and belonging amongst adherents of Mormonism in Ireland.
This article firstly argues that as members of a minority religion Mormons in
Ireland of all backgrounds are stigmatised and marginalised from Irish narratives of
‘belonging’. Secondly, this article determines that as the majority of Mormons in
Ireland are white Irish, in keeping with the majority population, they view
themselves and are viewed by others as both insiders and outsiders within their own country. Thirdly, this article demonstrates how Mormons in Ireland with racialised identities also navigate a complex system of racial, religious, and national affiliations.
Thus, this article establishes that Mormons of all backgrounds in Ireland struggle to gain acceptance and belonging within the national narrative of belonging.
Finally, this article identifies the processes through which Mormons in
Ireland work to create belonging to the national narrative. For some, emphasising
their identity as Christian is a way to find commonality with the majority Catholic
population in Ireland. For others, a celebration and reinterpretation of Irishness is
used as a tool to build a dual sense of belonging; to others within an increasingly
diverse Mormon community in Ireland, and to the wider society
Examining Ethics for an Action Research Project in an Enterprise Social Network Enabled Virtual Communities of Practice Environment
Get PDFThe implementation of social media tools in organisations, known as enterprise social networking (ESN), provides a convenient means for staff to share knowledge in informal
settings. ESN are used to support a knowledge management technique called communities of practice (CoP), and the use of ESN and CoP for organizational knowledge sharing is the subject of increasing interest and research as awareness of the benefits grows. Action research (AR) is seen as a suitable approach for studies in this field. However, given the people-centric nature of these systems, AR in this area presents considerable ethical dilemmas; brought about by the
nature of AR and its research methods, and the nature of use of the ESN tools. This paper addresses how these ethical issues might be dealt with in the course of an AR study that
examines how ESN can enable staff knowledge sharing in virtual CoP in a higher education context
