Research activity per year
I was appointed to a lectureship in Irish and Celtic Studies in 2007, having previously held the Vera Furness Research Fellowship at the University of Ulster (2003–6) and an IRCHSS Post-doctoral Fellowship in the Department of Modern Irish, University College Cork (2006–7). I was Senior Fulbright Irish Language Scholar in the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame in 2010–11.
More recently, I held a Visiting Research Fellowship at The Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR), University of London (2018), where I engaged in research on Cultural Memory and the Irish Language.
My principal research interests are in the fields of:
(1) Irish Phraseology (Irish paremiography; phraseological typologies; linguo-stylistic approaches to syntactic/structural/semantic markers; conceptual metaphor and blending).
(2) Memory and Language (collective and cultural memory; memory and identity formation; cultural identity)
(3) Folkloristics (stereotypes and humour; international and national slurs in the blason populaire; oikotypes and regional variation).
(4) Historical lexicography and lexicology (18th-century bilingual lexicography; metalexicographic examinations of Irish-English/English-French dictionaries; paremiological minimum and cultural literacy).
I currently convene and teach the following modules:
