Academician Social and Political Sciences
Biography

In addition to the academic pursuits listed below, I also worked as a journalist in Hong Kong (1989-91) and as a Political Officer for the UN in Bosnia (1996-8). I was also the co-founder and one of the directors of Historical Insights Ltd, which provided historical walking tours of Dublin.

Research Intrest

My primary research focus is on seventeenth-century Irish political, constitutional, urban and military history, from the Ulster Plantation to the Jacobite Wars, situated in a broad European contextual framework. My most recent book examined the Cromwellian conquest and settlement of Ireland and I was Principal Investigator on the 1641 Depositions project and the Down Survey of Ireland Project. I am currently part of the editorial team producing a new five-volume edition of Cromwell’s Letters and Papers for Oxford University Press.
