Outreach Activities
| Description | |
|---|---|
In 2009 I developed and piloted a programme for adults with intellectual disability called the Certificate in Contemporary Living Programme. The Certificate in Contemporary Living (CCL), is a flagship programme which has seen University College Cork open its doors for the first time to students with intellectual disabilities. The CCL programme initially began as a pilot initiative with three service providers in the Cork area, namely Enable Ireland, Brothers of Charity and Cope Foundation has now developed into a two year part-time NUI Special Purpose Ccertificate programme. To date the programme has over 40 graduates and another cohort of 23 students enrolled in September 2014. The CCL exemplifies a creative, mutually enriching synergy between the university and the local civic society. The CCL course provides structured opportunities for interaction and shared learning between students with intellectual disabilities and non-disabled students pursuing sports studies, social work, occupational therapy and speech and language programmes.

Teaching Activities
Teaching Interests
My teaching interests are in the spheres of sexuality and society, feminist social policy, childbirth politics, women's studies, oral history, women and work, research methodology and research skills. There is a strong correlation between my teaching and my research, which continuously informs my work in the classroom and ensures that my pedagogy is systematically enriched and enlivened. My postgraduate research supervision also provides an ongoing source of stimulating ideas and questions which also enhance my teaching practice.
