RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests are mainly in normative political theory, especially civic republican, communitarian and feminist thought, and their application to issues of citizenship, immigration and diversity; justice and moral obligations, ethics and public affairs.
My research projects have included: the EU FP 7 funded project ACCEPT: Tolerance and Pluralism in Europe in the 21st Century (2010-13) http://www.accept-pluralism.eu/ ; with Dr. Nathalie Rougier, also of SPIRe. I have also been a partner in collaborative EU funded research on access to citizenship in Europe. EUCITAC (2008-10) co-ordinated by the European University Institute and Edinburgh, with UCD, Maastricht and the Central European University, Budapest as partners, created a web-based observatory of European citizenship legislation and policies. The second phase of this project, ACIT, Access to Citizenship in Europe and its Impact on Integration (2011 -13) with the European University Institute, Edinburgh, Maastricht. and the Migration Policy Group. This created indicators on citizenship laws, their implementation and their impact on integration. In SPIre also, Dr. Derek Hutcheson was a co-investigator and Kristen Jeffers research assistant on the ACIT project (2011-13). The most recetn phases of this research - as GLOBACIT - extended this to the global sphere and introduced research on political and electoral citizenship. Materials on all stages of this research are available at: http://globalcit.eu/
In 2007-8 I held an IRCHSS Senior Research Fellowship to work on my principal basic research project in normative political theory: Justice in Relationships: Interdependence and Obligations. Details of, and papers from, a previously co-ordinated project, the NORFACE seminar series, The Challenges of Immigration for the Smaller Countries of Europe (2006-8) are available at www.ucd.ie/norface/ .
