Biography

I am a senior lecturer in the Department of History at the University of Limerick, where my teaching focuses on aspects of cultural history. My research is focused on the histories and heritages of religious architecture, as well as the performance of identities in public space through festival, ritual, procession, or everyday interactions. I am currently working on a monograph titled Ambition and Magnificence: Roman Catholic Architecture in Ireland, 1829-1936, and this is under contract with Liverpool University Press as part of their Reappraisals in Irish History series.
I graduated with a degree in Art and Architectural History and English Literature from Trinity College Dublin in 2007, and after a valuable year with the National Gallery of Ireland education department and the Irish Museums Association, I completed my PhD at TCD under the supervision of Professor Roger Stalley as the doctoral fellow on the Irish Research Council-funded Reconstructions of the Gothic Past project. I was a postdoctoral researcher on the Monastic Ireland project (a collaboration between UCD, Fáilte Ireland, and the Discovery programme), which developed digital resources for accessing Irish medieval built heritage. In 2013, I joined the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick as the founding director of the MA Festive Arts programme, and I continue to teach a module on Critical Contexts for Arts Management and Cultural Policy for Academy students.
From 2018-2021, I was the Assistant Dean, Research for the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at the University of Limerick.

I am an experienced supervisor, and welcome expressions of interest from research students in the areas of Irish art and architectural history; religious architectural history; antiquarianism; the history of exhibitions and cultural institutions; aspects of festivity; heritage and cultural policy, and the creative industries.

I am a committee member of the Catholic Historical Society of Ireland, and a former committee member of the Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland. From 2019-21, I was Vice-Chair and then Chair of the Irish Humanities Alliance.








Research Interests

My current research focuses on Roman Catholic architecture in Ireland between 1828 and 1936, and I am currently working on a monograph (under contract with Liverpool University Press.)

I lead the Religious Spaces in Transition project, which focuses on new and changing uses for religious architectural heritage in Ireland and internationally (funded by the Irish Research Council under the New Foundations scheme), and I also convene the MCHRI - Material and Cultural Heritages of Religion in Ireland research network.

My research interests also include the dynamics of urban public space and festivity; the history of respectability in Irish culture; cultural entrepreneurship; public history; and interdisciplinary research practices.
I also regularly work as a curator and writer on contemporary art.

Research MA and PhD supervision:
My current PhD research students are working on nineteenth-century architectural history, Irish festival cultures, and aspects of the creative economy.
I have been lucky to supervise PhD theses on the subjects of audience engagement; creative pedagogy; measurement and value in the visual art gallery; and on a range of issues relating to festival, festive practices, public space and identity.

I welcome new research proposals on these and related topics, and am very happy to support postgraduate or postdoctoral researchers in developing their funding applications.

Teaching Interests

My teaching currently focuses on aspects of cultural history, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I am current module lead for HI6191 Graduate Seminar in Irish Cultural History, HI4103 - Imagining Ireland: from early modern to modern, and co-lead for HI4142 - Games of Thrones: gender, power, and identity, Ireland and the wider world, 1500-1950. I also deliver MD6062 Critical Contexts for Arts Management and Cultural Policy for students across a range of programmes at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance. In 2020, I developed and led AH4007 Introduction to Public Humanities for students on the BA Arts programme at UL.

I am currently supervising doctoral candidates in the areas of architectural history, the creative industries, and Irish festival culture. I have successfully supervised doctoral students in the areas of arts practice research, arts practice and pedagogy, Irish art history, and evaluation practices in the cultural sector.
