Research Expertise

I am both an academic and an independent film maker. My academic research interests have focused on intergroup relations, prejudice and quantitative methods. Although fictional, my films are heavily influenced by my experiences as a social researcher and my background in Psychology. For more information about my filmmaking visit www.museoffire.ie.
