Noel Ó Murchadha - Assistant Professor, School of Education
Noel O Murchadha is an assistant professor in the School of Education and the M.Ed. Course Coordinator.

He is particularly interested in the changing relationship between self and society in the late modern age and in the impact such changes have on language variation and change in a minoritised language context. Within this paradigm, he has investigated the role of subjective, social-psychological factors in language variation and change in Irish.
