Dr Geraldine Moane BSc, MSC, PhD
Biography:
I attended University of California from
1979-1985, where I completed my PhD, specializing in personality development
in adulthood. I took a position in UCD in 1989, and became involved in
women's studies as well as in psychology. I was Head of Department from
2002-2005, and am currently Director of the Higher Diploma in Psychology. The red thread running through my interests is the question of how people can grow and flourish across the
lifespan. I believe that the social context plays a vital role and have specialized in diversity, oppression and liberation. I have trained and have extensive experience in groupwork
and counselling with diverse groups.
I have published a book, several articles and an edited collection on
liberation psychology and diversity, receiving a Distinguished Publication
Award in 2010. I am currently a
member of the Equality and Inclusive Practice Working Group of the
Psychological Society of Ireland, and Chair of the Sexual Diversity and Gender
Issues Special Interest Group.
