Personal profile

Biography

I am a Lecturer at the UCC School of Law, where I teach into the property and equity modules. I am also cross-posted with the Radical Humanities Laboratory. My research interests lie in the law of the dead and bodily disposal, and private law's interactions with death, particularly through a socio-legal lens.

I am the PI on the Research Ireland-funded BoDIESS project, which examines changing death and funerary care preferences in Ireland in the context of changing demographics, increasing environmental awareness, and the rising cost of living.
