Research Expertise
Projects
- Title
- PolAds Ireland Lab: Experiments on political advertisements in Ireland
- Summary
- This project uses the newly available archive of Facebook political ads to inform a survey experiment design that will test the effects of different types of political advertising on Irish voters. To understand the impact of differential advertising, the analysis will estimate within-group treatment effects on vote preference and between-group treatment effects on voter attitudes. With the growing influence of online advertising, Ireland has been moved from a political system with strict regulation of all available media (i.e. TV and radio) to one in which an unregulated 'wild west' of online advertising is available to political actors. This rapid change in the regulatory landscape makes this research a timely contribution.

Representations
I have been elected to and am serving as Treaurer of the Political Studies Association of Ireland Executive Committee. Specifically in this role, I have led on the development of two new inclusion awards, one domestic and one international in orientation, to support the representation of those from diverse and less traditional backgrounds at the PSAI's annual conference. I am currently working towards developing a PSAI Research Support scheme for Early Career and Postgrad researchers. I am also leading on the development of a new PSAI podcast series for which I will be co-host and producer to offer an important venue for accessible and engaging discussion of current political issues with Irish and international social scientists which can illustrate the contribution of the PSAI and expand its public footprint. I also chair the Farrell Book Prize Committee for the PSAI. In 2024, I was a conference organiser for the 2024 PSAI Annual Conference hosted by Trinity.
