Research Area
1) History of rural movements
2) Modern British and Irish history
3) History of modern cosmopolitanism
Since my gradute-student period I have been studying nineteenth-century Irish rural movements, the result of which has been publihsed as Rockites, magistrates and parliamentarians: Governance and disturbances in pre-Famine rural Munster (Routledge, 2017).
I am also interested in other aspects of modern British and Irish history, and I have published the following articles: ‘Conciliation, anti-Orange politics and the sectarian scare: Dublin politics of the early 1820s’, Dublin Historical Record, vol. lxiv, no. 2, Autumn 2011; ‘The proposal for a militia interchange between Great Britain and Ireland’, Irish Sword, vol. xxix, no. 116, winter 2013; ‘“In death they are not divided”: The Irish Burial Act of 1824 and establishment of an “open” cemetery in Dublin’, in Katsumi Fukasawa, Benjamin J. Kaplan and Pierre-Yves Beaurepaire (eds.), Religious Interactions in Europe and the Mediterranean World: Coexistence and Dialogue from the 12th to the 20th Centuries (Routledge, 2017); ‘“Aggregate meetings” and politics in early nineteenth-century Dublin’, LEAVES, N°12, 2021.
My third and new reserach interest is the development of cosmopolitan thoughts in eighteenth-century Europe, and I am now preparing an article of that subject.
