My teaching and research interests lie in the fields of British History, Scottish History since 1700 and Irish History since 1660. I am the Year 1 Coordinator for History at Strathclyde.

I also published the edited volume, New Perspectives on the Irish in Scotland (2008.) My current research project is on the impact of Irish immigration on the Catholic Church in Scotland in the nineteenth century.
