Mark Hayes is a Senior Lecturer in Human Sciences at the School of Social Sciences and Nursing, Solent University. His research focuses on Irish Republicanism, political violence, peace process dynamics, and state coercion. Specializing in the intersection of politics, media, and conflict, he has extensively analyzed paramilitary groups, media representation of conflict, and post-conflict policing strategies in Northern Ireland.
Key research areas include the role of political prisoners, dissident republican movements, and the dialectics of class and identity in austerity contexts. His work critically examines state policies, media framing of violence, and the ethical dimensions of academic research in politically charged environments.
Notable contributions include analyses of internment policies, the proscription of extremist groups, and comparative studies of paramilitary groups like the Provisional IRA and Ulster Defence Association. His publications challenge conventional narratives on state legitimacy and security strategies, emphasizing historical accountability and marginalized voices.
