• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  I am an active researcher and lecturer in social and cultural geography. My expertise and central research interests straddle a number of arenas within critical geographic inquiry; these include: geographies of children, young people and families; geographies of social justice; and participative field-based research practice. All of my research practice is principally underpinned by participative field-based methodologies, allowing for work with various communities in Ireland and globally. In doing so, I acknowledge the need to work with research communities within and beyond the academic, connecting with community collaborators, activists and practitioners across various interdisciplinary fields. I am cognisant to the importance of listening to the communities within which I work and in allowing the development of a reciprocal dialogue, whereby research agendas and methodological design are informed by and through conversations with collaborative partners.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  I would like to join a project that focuses on how children and young people experience crisis. This is not tied necessarily to a particular theme (e.g. climate crisis or forced migration) but I am interested in exploring these often forgotten perspectives through a creative methodological approach.
