    H.W. Wilson Foundation Senior Research Fellow
    1 Jan 2015
    H.W. Wilson Foundation Project Grant Programme: "User Requirements Analysis for the Nation, Genre and Gender Project" Nation, Genre and Gender: A Comparative Social Network Analysis of Irish and English Fiction, 1800-1922 [1] is a three-year project, which started in December 2013. It is funded by the Irish Research Council; the PI is Professor Gerardine Meaney of UCD Dublin. The project aims to 'create an electronic corpus, drawing on existing online resources and via digitisation as required, of approximately 200 Irish and English novels from the period 1800-1922. It will use this corpus to identify key representative and influential texts for social network analysis, to generate visualisations of networks, to apply intersectional (gender, class, ethnicity) analysis to network components, and to engage in intensive critical analysis' [1]. As well as advancing social network analysis of the novel [2], one of the aims of the Nation, Genre and Gender project is to establish a corpus of electronic texts which can be used by other researchers and students. It is hoped that the corpus will be made openly available via the Digital Repository of Ireland and UCD James Joyce Library. Ensuring the usability of the resulting project website will be of vital importance if this project is, indeed, to be of maximal use to the research community in Ireland and internationally. However, user research has not been identified as a component of the project plan and there are no resources or funding within the project to carry out this vital task. The aim of this HW Wilson Foundation Research project is to provide user requirements analysis input to the Nation, Genre and Gender project, thus contributing to its success as an important national and international research resource.

    Using Peer e-Mentoring to support Stage One Undergraduates
    1 Jan 2010
    Our project, Peer eMentoring, uses digital technologies to connect Stage 2/3 UCD students with incoming Stage 1 students, even before they arrive on campus. Through innovative application of existingsocial media platforms that are familiar to students, Stage 2/3 volunteer mentors will support Stage 1 students, helping them to navigate and adjust to UCD academic and social life. The goal is to retain Stage 1 students by providing peer support to them, and simultaneously providing an innovative way for them to become part of the School, and overall academic community.
