I am Research Fellow in the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Prior to taking up this role, I held teaching appointments at the University of Sheffield, Northumbria University and the University of Limerick. I obtained my PhD in 2017 from the University of Galway where I was an Irish Research Council Scholar. In 2017/2018, I was the National Library of Ireland/Irish Committee of Historical Sciences Research Studentship Holder.

My first book, The Legacy of the Irish Parliamentary Party in Independent Ireland, 1922-1949, was published by Liverpool University Press. It was the co-winner of the NUI Publication Prize in Irish History and was highly commended for the British Association of Irish Studies Book Prize. My current project is a comparative one, examining parliament and legal thought before and after independence in Ireland and India.
