RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research examines social inequality and discrimination in Ireland and Europe, across three areas: migration, the environment and sport. I draw on quantitative, qualitative, experimental and mixed-methods approaches, including survey research, focus groups, field experiments and social life cycle assessment. Within these areas, my work focuses on:

 

Migration:  Ethnic Discrimination, Anti-immigrant Attitudes, Migrant Integration.

 

Environmental Sociology: Social Sustainability, Environmental Inequality, Just transition, Bioeconomy. 

 

Sociology of Sport: Gender Inequality, Women in Sport, Public Space. 

 

I welcome PhD enquiries in any of these areas.
