Biography:
| I graduated with a BCL (Law and French) degree from University College Cork, and was awarded a PhD by the same institution in 2010. I lectured at the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University between 2010 and 2012, and joined the School of Law at UCD in September 2012. My research interests lie primarily in the areas of constitutional law and political theory, with a focus on religious freedom, the separation of church and state, theories of justice, republican theory and John Rawls' political liberalism. My areas of teaching include Law, Religion and Secularism, Constitutional law, French Civil Law, and Legal Theory. |
Research Interests
| My research focuses primarily on the intersection of constitutional law and political theory. In particular, I am interested in different models of constitutional secularism, particularly French laïcité, especially its impact in the context of education. I also focus on liberal and republican theories of justice more generally, with an emphasis on Rawls and Rousseau. I have also published material on issues such as freedom of association as it applies to political parties, constitutional conventions, the separation of Church and State, the conflict between religious freedom and equality, and the legal regulation of religious products. My first book, Religion, Law and the Irish State: the Constitutional Framework in Context (Clarus) was published in 2012. |
