About

I am a social psychologist working in a discursive tradition. My main research interests are in national identity, local identity, diaspora and transnationalism.

In 2010, I completed my PhD thesis on the topic of discourses of Irish authenticity and national identity in England, which is available at http://oro.open.ac.uk/25474/. I was the winner of the 2011 Nations and Nationalism / Dominique Jacquin-Berdal essay prize.

I now work as a Research Associate on the Impact of Diasporas on the Making of Britain programme at the University of Leicester: http://www2.le.ac.uk/projects/impact-of-diasporas
