Biography
Patrick O'Callaghan is a Senior Lecturer in Law and Principal Investigator in the Law and the Inner Self Project (20222026), funded by a Research Ireland (Consolidator) Laureate Grant. You can learn more about this research here.
Patrick joined UCC in 2014, having previously lectured at Newcastle University, UK (20072014). Before that, he was a researcher at the Centre for European Law and Politics (ZERP), Universität Bremen, Germany (20042007) where his doctoral research was supported by RTN funding under the EU's Fifth Framework Programme.
Patrick's background is in the legal protection of personality rights, as that field is conceptualised in the civilian private law tradition. This has led to an interest in theories of selfhood and questions about the role personality rights can play in safeguarding the opacity of the self. In this context, he has researched aspects of privacy law, the right to freedom of thought, the relationship between law and memory, including the right to be forgotten, the right to honour and reputation, and the historical development of personality rights. In contextualising his doctrinal research, Patrick draws on the methodologies of the field of law and humanities.
Since 2004, Patrick has collaborated in 16 international research projects, leading or co-leading several of these. In recognition of his contributions to collaborative research, he received UCC's Research Collaboration of the Year Award in 2023.
At UCC, Patrick teaches Jurisprudence (LW3367) and Law of Torts I (LW1106) to undergraduate students. He is currently mentoring two Research Ireland (Laureate) postdoctoral researchers and has supervised five PhD researchers to date. He welcomes enquiries from researchers interested in undertaking a PhD under his supervision.
