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.
