Research Interests

My research and related projects interests include housing policy, the nature of Ireland’s financialisation, the Irish welfare state, analysis of regulatory policy and consumer responsibilisation, and neo-institutional theory. My research includes qualitative and quantitative analysis of regulatory policy and its effect, particularly in the context of financial regulations and personal debt in Ireland. Recent research projects have included (1) quantitative research methods to understand the current and future housing needs of people living on Ireland’s islands and (2) reviewing educational and research related materials related to science outreach activities and evaluating these through qualitative and quantitative social research analyses.
