Polling in divided societies

Colin Irwin on using polls to build and institutionalise peace, including recent work with tech specialists Remesh

Colin Irwin outlines his 20+ years experience of polling divided societies in order to better understand the issues on which they agree and disagree. As an expert on public opinion, public diplomacy and peace processes, his fascinating overview stretches back from one man and a pen in Northern Ireland to current realtime online polling in various countries to identify core issues for their populations.

It was originally delivered as part of the IPTN's PeaceTech Exchange online seminar series in December 2024.
