Personal profile
Professional Information
I am a philosopher and a lecturer in aesthetics and cultural policy. In the school of Art and Design I am the program chair of the BA in Creative Industries and Visual Culture. I am a member of the European Culture and Technology Laboratory. As part of the Lab, I am a member of the Aesthico and Epico projects. I am an associate researcher with the Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media, an executive committee member of the European Society for Aesthetics and a core member of The Aesthetics Research Group.
I received a PhD in aesthetics from UCD in 2010. My research focuses on how challenges to aesthetic, educational and political institutional norms and narratives gain recognition over time. I have published on the avant-garde, public art, curation, vandalism, the canon, national identity, soccer and the relationship between contemporary aesthetic theory, art practice and policy. I regularly write for RTÉ Brainstorm.
