Biography

I am Assistant Dean, Research for the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and senior lecturer in the Department of History, UL. I was the founding Course Director of the MA Festive Arts programme at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick between 2013-2020.
My research focuses on the construction of the devotional infrastructure of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I am particularly interested in the construction of church buildings, and on the interactions between procession, architecture and the performance of religious identity in public space.
My research also includes work on Irish art, the history of exhibitions, aspects of festivity, cultural policy and the creative industries.
I welcome expressions of interest from potential research students interested in working on the above areas.
I am currently Chair of the Irish Humanities Alliance, and a committee member of the Catholic Historical Society of Ireland. I am also a committee member of the Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland.








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.

  • Public engagement/ outreach events
