I am an Irish historian based in Belfast, where I am a Research Fellow at Queen’s University.
I grew up in the Tipperary town of Cahir, and studied English and History at Trinity College Dublin before receiving an MPhil in Modern European History from Cambridge University.
In 2020, I completed my DPhil research at Oxford University, where my project examined Irish women and radical internationalism , 1916-1939. My work bridges different fields, including the history of interwar radicalism, Irish history, queer history and the social history of ideas.
I am interested in how early twentieth century revolutionaries navigated the messiness of day-to-day life. This has led me to explore topics as varied as the anti-Nazi underground, Irish nationalism, the Comintern and queer sexuality.
My first book Hotel Lux is a combination of all these research interests – and more. It will be released in August 2024 with Footnote Press.
The best place to read more about my current research is my free newsletter.
