| Bio | Lecturer in Irish and British History, Northumbria University. Prior to taking up this role, I taught history at the University of Limerick and the National University of Ireland, Galway where I was an Irish Research Council Scholar. In 2017/2018, I was the National Library of Ireland/Irish Committee of Historical Sciences Research Studentship Holder. My research examines the political and social history of modern Ireland, the relationship with British rule, parliamentary history, fraternalism and the everyday experience of Irish partition, and commemoration in twentieth-century Ireland. My first book, 'The Legacy of the Irish Parliamentary Party in Independent Ireland, 1922-1949' draws on interdisciplinary approaches to re-examine the importance of the Irish Parliamentary Party in independent Ireland and the commemoration and memory of the party and its leaders. |
