Biography
Having delivered two undergraduate modules for the School of Law and Criminology, Maynooth University since January 2017, I transferred to that School on 1 January 2021. Prior to this, I was Programme Director and Lecturer in Mediation, Conflict Intervention and Negotiation in the Edward M Kennedy Institute for Conflict Intervention from December 2016-31 December 2020. I am graduate of University of Sheffield and University College Dublin who worked in organisations and as a self-employed practitioner for 18 years, in mediation, conflict intervention and negotiation roles across a variety of sectors â Higher Education, Health, Voluntary, Financial Services and Separating Couples. I completed a PhD (part-time) mapping the complex landscape of antecedents, processes and outcomes to workplace mediation. As a pracademic, I have a commitment to working collaboratively with both academics and practitioners in the fields of mediation, conflict intervention and negotiation. My overall aim is to include those who participate in mediation, conflict intervention and negotiation in those conversations. I have contributed articles to the Journal of Mediation and Applied Conflict Intervention (JMACA). I am currently (2020/2021) Editor of JMACA. As one of the founding members of the Kennedy Institute Workplace Mediation Research Group (KIWMRG) I was part of the research project team that delivered two related research reports in 2016. Our approach to research involves academic researchers and practitioners conducting research together in the interests of the community of practice. I am an Advanced Member of the Mediatorsâ Institute of Ireland (MII). I was Director of Accreditation for the MII for seven years (2006-2013) and took up that role again with effect from December 2019. On behalf of MII, I am also a participant on an Erasmus programme which brings together mediation training providers across Europe. I am a member of the International Mediation Institute (IMI) and represented the MII on the Board of the European Mediation Network Initiative (EMNI). I am also a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD).
