Biography

I joined 果冻影院 in autumn 2020 after completing my PhD in International Relations at the University of St Andrews. I also hold an MA in Politics from Queen's University Belfast and a BA in American Studies from Yale University.

Research

My research investigates the quality of peace in Northern Ireland after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, with a particular focus on the 'inter-referendum' years of 1998-2016 - from 1998 to the Brexit vote. I examine the relationship between the 'opportunity for a new beginning' imagined in peace negotiations and the division, animosity, and threat of violence that have characterised much of the period since. This is investigated across three levels of society: government responses, the role of the third sector, and the development of a culture war based on individual and collective identity.听My research has been published in听Irish Political Studiesand the听#Agreement20 Open Library of Humanitiesproject, as well as through several online platforms. I am currently working on my first academic monograph,听'Beyond the Agreement: The Strained Peace of Inter-referendum Northern Ireland (1998-2016)'.
