Biography:
I completed my PhD on Early and Middle Bronze Age settlement in southern England at the University of Cambridge in 1997 and subsequently held a Research Fellowship there at Clare Hall. I joined UCD School of Archaeology in 1999, where I am currently a Senior Lecturer. My research interests include the Bronze Age of Britain and Ireland, funerary archaeology, settlements and landscapes, ritual and ideology, material culture studies and archaeological theory. I would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in pursuing postgraduate research in these areas. In 2006, I was elected a Director of the Discovery Programme (after serving on Council since 2003), and have been a member of the Executive Council of the Prehistoric Society since 2003. I am editor of PAST, the Prehistoric Society's newsletter, and am always on the lookout for interesting contributions! I am also on the editorial board of Archaeological Dialogues, published by Cambridge University Press. In 1999, I co-founded the Bronze Age Forum (with Dr Stuart Needham of the British Museum), an inter-institutional research network that organises biannual conferences on the Bronze Age of Britain and Ireland; anyone who would like their contact details added to the BAF mailing list should email me! I am also co-chair of the UCD College of Arts and Celtic Studies postgraduate research strand on 'material culture', and have organised a variety of inter-disciplinary workshops and seminars on this theme. Over the years, I have organised many conferences, both in UCD and elsewhere. These have included `TAG in Ireland¿ (2001), one of the largest international gathering of archaeologists ever held in this country and, more recently, 'Talking objects: interdisciplinary approaches to material culture studies' (2005) as well as the 2006 meeting of the Bronze Age Forum, which was held at UCD. Prior to undertaking postgraduate research, I worked as Keeper of Human History at Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, where I mounted a major exhibition on prehistoric Dartmoor. This is a research interest to which I returned in 2003 as co-director of the Shovel Down Project, a collaborative research project (with Dr R. Johnston, University of Sheffield; Dr R. Fyfe, University of Plymouth; Dr H. Lewis, University of Cambridge; and H. Wickstead, University College London) investigating the origins and social implications of land enclosure on Bronze Age Dartmoor, funded by the British Academy and the Dartmoor National Park Authority. |
