Dr Tadhg MacIntyre
Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor
Scientific Coordinator of GoGreenRoutes
Biography
Dr MacIntyre is an environmental psychologist leading Ireland's first postgraduate program in Environmental Psychology. He studied psychology in University College Dublin where he graduated with a BA, a first class honours research Masters (1996) and subsequently a PhD in 2007. His research was supervised by the late Professor of Cognitive Psychology at UCD, Aidan Moran. He has published widely on topics including mental imagery and embodied cognition, mental health and well-being, green exercise and most recently on nature based interventions. He co-edited Physical Activity in Natural Settings (Routledge) in 2019, and more recently was co-editor of the Routledge Handbook on Mental Health in Elite Sport. He is a HCPC (UK) accredited psychologist and an experience applied practitioner. He is a visiting Professor at the Inland University of Applied Sciences in Norway and formerly a visiting lecturer at the Technical University of Munich. He is the coordinator of GoGreenRoutes a 10.5 million euro four-year project on urban health which targets six European cities and has global outreach with its 40 partners (2020-2024). Since January 2024, he has led a €6 million euro Horizon Europe project, GoGreenNext, which focuses on the potential climate change impacts on urban health.
Research Interests
Research interests include metacognition and action, motor cognition, mental health and well-being, psychological resilience, nature-based interventions and nature-based solutions.
