Biography

Expertise Summary

I have worked at UNNC since 2007, having previously held research posts at Belfast’s Linen Hall Library, Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Ulster.

My background is in contemporary Northern Irish politics and much of my research reflects that. My main research interests, though, are on the impact of digital media on contemporary society, and the development of the cultural and creative industries in China.
