Research Expertise

As an independent researcher, I am engaged in expanding the study of Ireland's late twentieth-century garment manufacturing industry, through the lens of labour history, with a particular focus on Dublin. I am actively collecting and recording the oral histories of garment workers, entrepreneurs and industrialists, and I welcome any introductions to progress this research.
