Research interests



I have a number of research interests all of which come under the broad heading of urban sociology. I am particularly interested in changing cityscapes; gentrification; place; social inequality; community; identity; qualitative methods and visual representations. At present I am conducting research on contemporary urban and suburban allotments in Dublin and am particularly interested in exploring the creative potential and aesthetics of these spaces.

National Case Study

COST is supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a pan-European intergovernmental framework. Its mission is to enable break-through scientific and technological developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contribute to strengthening Europe’s research and innovation capacities. It allows researchers, engineers and scholars to jointly develop their own ideas and take new initiatives across all fields of science and technology, while promoting multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. COST aims at fostering a better integration of less research intensive countries to the knowledge hubs of the European Research Area. The COST Association, an International not-for-profit Association under Belgian Law, integrates all management, governing and administrative functions necessary for the operation of the framework. The COST Association has currently 36 Member Countries. www.cost.eu
