Research interests
I work on environmental, economic and social history. My interests focus on natural resource use and its role in shaping working lives, communities, societies and economic development. Current research work focuses on the economy, relations with the landscape and the experience of change in south and mid-Ulster during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and the Hebrides, especially Tiree, during that same period. I am completing a book manuscript, Ordinary Lives, which traces the economic and social history of Ireland and Britain between the late seventeenth century and First World War through tracing the fortunes of five family lines. I am also currently developing work on the reception of ideas about environmental limits and policy in UK farming since the 1960s.
