Interests
I graduated with a BA in History and Modern Irish from University College Cork (UCC) in 2011. Soon after this I began my doctoral studies at UCC and was awarded a PhD in History in 2016. From 2017-18, I held a research fellowship from the Society for Renaissnace Studies and from 2018-20 I held a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Reseach Fellowship at the University of Glasgow. I taught at Trinity College Dublin from 2020 to 2022 and joined the School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics at QUB in 2023.
Research Statement
My research focuses on the history and culture of later medieval Ireland, c.1100-c.1600. I am particularly interested in exploring:
- Gaelic and Gaelicized lordship
- the evolving relationship between Ireland and Scotland during the period
- how events in this wider Gaelic world shaped the politics of the wider archipelago
