I’ve been at UCD since July 2011 and am still learning more my university, my city, and the country of Ireland. Oh, and Europe. My research interests are varied (whose aren’t?) but broadly encompass the intersection of societies, cultures, and their attitudes towards this ubiquitous concept called “data”. I’ve also worked on scholarly practices, what is increasingly called “research on research”. I have also been Head of School since September 2015 and will step down August 31, 2018. Please feel free to contact me about my research and teaching as well as for more information about the School.
