Biography
I have been teaching as the lecturer in Irish Film at the departments of English and Media Studies since 2008. My research focuses on the impact of cinema and audiovisual media on Irish society and on Irish cinema and audiovisual media's global reach, historically and in the contemporary moment. You will find a list of some of my publications elsewhere on this page; I also run a research blog on Early Irish Cinema at https://earlyirishcinema.com/.
