Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests: urban landscapes, intergenerational trauma, (contentious) commemorative practises, collective memory, time and space/place-making, narrative and storytelling, borderlands, walls, post-conflict space, Northern Ireland/Ireland, political identity, precarity, hope(lessness).
I am interested in post-conflict Northern Ireland, and the emotional weight of living with memories of the Troubles for the ceasefire generation. Broadly, I am interested in how intergenerational trauma, physical sectarian divisions (by way of Belfast’s peace walls) and navigating the tumultuous post-Brexit political landscape affect and alter teenage life in a West Belfast neighbourhood.
