Teaching

My teaching areas are primarily in Irish, British, Dutch and French art of the sixteenth to the early twentieth centuries. My current senior sophister module is on the Irish and British art world in the long nineteenth century. I also run a module on museums and display. In addition I contribute to the introductory junior freshman modules, the module on Gender, history and culture, as well as to the MPhil courses Art+Ireland, and Public History.
