Part of my practice involves working across disciplines with artists, architects, archeologists and other practitioners to communicate historical research in different ways, and experiment with different kinds of research outputs. I co-edited the Imagining Futures Collected Works, an open-access, processional online publication that shares the work of different partners in various different formats, as well as a forthcoming ‘Work Play-Book’, which encapsulates and communicates the core practices of the Imagining Futures project.
I am also a partner on the Sites of Fracture project, which explores the history of twentieth-century Ireland through the lens of landscape and capitalism. Fellow-collaborators include historians, artists and archivists.
I am particularly interested in incorporating zines into academic research and archiving. I recently held a workshop at the University of Galway where participants worked together to produce a zine, as an alternative record of the workshop’s proceedings.
I also made a zine as part of the DIY Methods Conference, which documents the different ways I have tried to get to know a community of freshwater pearl mussels living upstream of two hydro electric dams on the River Lee.
