Biography:

I am part-time Learning Resources Officer for the School of History. I contribute to the development of the School's graduate tutor training programme and to the work of the School's Learning and Teaching Committee. I have interests in Digital History and Digital Humanities. 

 

I am also part-time Programme Co-ordinator for the European Art History Certificate and Diploma programmes, Centre for Adult and Continuing Education (CACE), University College Cork. The European Art History programme, received a President's Award for Research on Innovative Forms of Teaching and Learning (2003/04). Currently, I am actively involved in the facilitation of outreach cultural history programmes in partnership with Cork City Library. 

Before joining the School of History, in March 2011, I was inaugural Visual Resources Officer in History of Art, University College Cork (2001-11). I received a Quality Improvement Fund Award in 2004 for my work with History of Art. As Visual Resources Officer, I co-ordinated the audio-visual support and recorded four international conferences for History of Art: Visual Literacy; W.G. Sebald; the Representation of Pain and Theories of Modernism & Post Modernism in the Visual Arts and the round-table discussions for the seven-volume Art Seminar series edited by James Elkins (co-published by Routledge & Cork University Press, 2006/08).

I am a graduate of University College Cork, where I read History and English and where I pursued postgraduate studies initially in History and most recently in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in higher education. I  trained as an NUJ accredited broadcast journalist in the award-winning School of Journalism and Communications, University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), Preston. I served internships with BBC Radio Cumbria in Carlisle and RS (formerly Rough Shore) Productions, an independent documentary maker, in Tyneside. I have taught with the International School of Choueifat in Wiltshire and with the Vocational Education Committee in Cork.
