Social sciences; qualitative research; applied linguistics; history/historical fiction; literary fiction.
Recent projects include a multi-volume qualitative report for a public sector client; various papers and creative pieces for an academic journal; and a debut historical novel for an independent author.
My interests revolve mainly around the social sciences, qualitative research and applied linguistics. I’m currently an assistant editor for Language & Ecology, the journal of the International Ecolinguistics Association.
I’m also enthusiastic about creative writing, particularly modernist literature and poetry; contemporary and Irish fiction; and decadence, aestheticism and the avant-garde.
