Biography:
| My main research interests are in the history of child welfare in Ireland and Britian, the history of marginalised groups of women and children, medical history, the social history of Ireland in the twentieth century, and more recently the history of social movements in Britain and Ireland. In 2012, I published a histoy of the Haematology Association of Ireland in 2012, and my book on the history of child welfare in Ireland, and in particular the NSPCC, will be published by Manchester University Press in 2013. My current research is focused on youth culture in Ireland from the 1950s. |
