My Research
Irish Representations in American Cinema
The majority of my academic conference papers and publications concentrate on the cinematic portrayals of the Irish in American cinema, particularly during the formative years of the American film industry. Below is a curated list of my conference presentations. Additionally, my research has been referenced in various publications, including an article by History Net discussing the Irish stereotype within Amazon's The Rings of Power series. You can read more about it here.
