I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I am also currently a predoctoral fellow and graduate affiliate at the Minda de Gunzberg Center for European Studies (CES) at Harvard University.

My research interests are in comparative and international political economy, with a particular focus on the developed democracies. In my book-length dissertation, I examine the political economy of working time and how this shapes contemporary class and gender inequalities. My research has been supported by, among others, the National University of Ireland, the Embassy of France in the United States and the Center for European Studies at Harvard.

Before MIT, I received a BA (International) in History and Politics from University College, Dublin and an MSc in Comparative Politics from the London School of Economics. I also worked at the Economic and Social Research Institute in Dublin.
