I have worked in the Helping Kids! Lab since early 2021, and commenced my PhD research here in September 2023.
My PhD research focuses on how children's superordinate (i.e., European, national) identities relate to social inclusion in Ireland. I am particularly interested in whether the way that children define these identities is associated with the inclusion of minority groups (e.g., migrants, Irish travellers).

Social Inclusion in Ireland: Research for Policy
I am an ad-hoc researcher for Ireland's Think-Tank for Action on Social Change (TASC), who produce policy-relevant research focused on sustaining democracy and reducing inequality. Working with Dr Sara Singleton, I have predominantly contributed to an evaluation of the Roma Employment and Training programme run by Dublin City Community Co-Op; I contributed to report writing, qualitative analysis and literature reviews.
