Research Interests

Current Research Projects 



ENTRUST: Energy System Transition Through Stakeholder Activation, Education and Skills Development
May 2015 - Apr 2018 [EU Horizon 2020 Programme], Co-Investigator [CPPU/ISS21]
ENTRUST provides mapping of Europe’s energy system (key actors & their intersections, technologies, markets, policies, innovations) and an in-depth understanding of how human behaviour around energy is shaped by both technological systems and socio-demographic factors (esp. gender, age and socio-economic status).

Understanding Community Behaviour on Climate Mitigation and Blueprint for Action
Jan 2015 - Dec 2017 [EPA Climate Programme], Co-Principal Investigator [with Dr Brian Ó Gallachóir, ERI and School of Engineering, UCC and Claire Watson, PhD Researcher, Department of Sociology, ERI and School of Engineering, UCC]
An interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research project drawing on social scientific, climate mitigation technology and policy perspectives. The project aims to:
·         understand how behaviour and values affect our response to climate change
·         explore the gap between information and knowledge, and an effective response
·         understand why people engage or not in local initiatives on climate action (mitigation and/or adaptation)
·         identify policy, participation, and communication procedures, which effectively engage citizens and local decision-makers
·         develop a framework for action on climate change at community level
The project will research the following:
·         the influence of behaviour, beliefs, and social and cultural norms
·         the potential for innovative and creative methods
·         the role of technology, grants and incentives, taxes and punitive measures
·         the importance of benefits and barriers and the part to be played by government, statutory and voluntary agencies and communication systems, within an Irish context.
 
State of Play Review of Environmental Policy Integration Literature
Oct 2014 - Dec 2014 [National Economic Social Council], Co-Principal Investigator [with Niall Dunphy CPPU/ UCC].
A report for the National Economic and Social Council (NESC), prepared by the Cleaner Production Promotion Unit, University College Cork

 Description

At the national level I have been a regular commentator, contributor and presenter to COMHAR, the National Sustainable Development Partnership since its inception in 2000 (See list of presentations).  I have given seminars and workshop on ‘regional sustainable’ development on behalf of both COMHAR and the South East Regional Authority. In addition, I have given presentations and workshops on local sustainable development to local authorities, County Partnerships and City/County Development Boards in Cork, Derry, Dublin, Laois, Meath, Tipperary and Wexford.

The Community Engagement Committee of the College of Arts Celtic Studies and Social Sciences, University College Cork is delighted to announce Community Week 2017 which runs from Monday 18th September 2017 to Sunday 24th September 2017.

 Description

2012: Invited Delegate, SEIA Workshop: Wind Energy in Ireland: Understanding Social Acceptability, Novermber 23rd Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland, Wilton Park House, Dublin.

The urgency of climate change has led to increasing calls for the co-production of demand-driven climate services (CS) that can support adaptation, mitigation, Disaster Risk Reduction and societal transformation decisions. Social science and humanities (SSH) have important contributions to make to the evolving CS research agenda. However, recent stock-taking under major European funding initiatives such as Horizon2020 and JPI Climate ERA4CS1, European Roadmap for Climate Services and JPI Climate SRIA indicate that SSH expertise has so far been inadequately and unevenly integrated into climate services research (link to H2020 report on integration of SSH). As a result, research and innovation supporting climate services remains dominated by the natural sciences and by data-driven approaches that are underpinned by a linear knowledge-action model that assumes that the provision of more and better climate information will automatically translate into better adaptation, mitigation and transformation decisions. While there has in recent years been a move toward supply-driven, user informed CS, the need is to move to decision/demand-driven, science-informed approaches.  This includes recognition that all sciences need to inform, but cannot dictate. A process is now needed for stronger research collaboration and learning within and across a growing group of SSH researchers who are engaged in climate services research in Europe and internationally. The aims of this workshop are to initiate a dialogue with the European SSH community who are currently (and could potentially be) involved in research supporting climate services to elicit their expert recommendations on:  · How to promote the range of SSH perspectives within CS research · How to better attract SSH researchers into the CS research domain · How to foster inter- and transdisciplinary CS research  and what support can JPI Climate offer?  The outputs from the discussions at the workshop will be a set of recommendations concerning the scope, architecture and ambitions for a proposed Action Group within JPI Climate on SSH perspectives in research supporting climate services. These recommendations will: a) drive a process for stronger research collaboration and learning within and across a growing group SSH researchers who are engaged in climate services research in Europe and internationally, and; b) contribute to the operationalization of the JPI Climate Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) 2016-20252, by feeding into the Spring 2018 Scoping Forum. The aim of the Scoping Forum is to develop a common vision and implementation strategy and plan for the JPI Climate for the next 2-5 years.
