Personal profile

Biography

Brídín is an experienced qualitative researcher, having worked on ten projects over the past fifteen years, in both the UK and Ireland. She was educated at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels at the University of Galway. She gained six years experience in other institutions -including the University of Birmingham, the National Economic and Social Council, University College Dublin, and the Department of Health- before returning to the University of Galway in 2019, where she has remained since, working in various post-doctoral research roles. Brídín therefore has experience not only in the academic but also in the policy arena. While Brídíns research focus has shifted in recent years from issues of food sustainability to healthy ageing, the common thread underpinning these enquiries has been a concern for marginalised populations and their wellbeing.

Research Interests

Social gerontology; marginalisation; social justice; health equity; life course; structural determinants of health; sustainable food systems; social inclusion

Teaching Interests

My teaching interests are broad, reflecting the range of research Ive completed to date. I am interested in teaching topics related to sustainability and sustainable consumption, particularly as they relate to food. I'm also interested in issues of identity, culture and belonging. I have experience in topics related to marginalisation and exclusion, particularly as it relates to health. As such, I also am interested in teaching from a structural determinants perspective. I have extensive experience in qualitative research methods and have experience in teaching this at an undergraduate and post-graduate level.
