Delighted to be sharing my undergraduate dissertation research on DJs experiences of performance anxiety at Better Days in Turin next month.
We'll also talk about the psychology of the dancefloor - collective experiences and identity - and I'll get to play some records too!

No lying or making yourself out to be the cool kid.
Post the first record you bought.
Queen Live At Wembley cassette - Golden Discs, downstairs in Todds, Limerick.
I told the man it was my tenth birthday and he knocked a couple of pounds off the price too!

Electricity is gone but thankfully I'm a self-proclaimed Luddite who has had enough blue light to last me a lifetime.

What does it mean to call Ireland 'home'?
What is it like to be asked 'where are you originally from?'
How is 'Irishness' navigated and experienced amond second-generation young adults?
If you know anyone who might be interested in taking part then please share with them 🙏

Still recruiting!
Born in Ireland?
Parents who migrated here?
Grew up in Limerick or the Mid-West?
I'm doing a research project on second-generation identity and would love to chat with you.
Please share with anyone who might be interested - it would mean a lot 🙏

I'm looking forward to discussing my research on DJs experiences of music performance anxiety at @pintofscienceie next week in Limerick.
This should be good craic, and a nice way to learn about science in an informal setting.

Hi everyone, I'm currently researching how second-generation migrant young adults - those born in Ireland to at least one migrant parent - experience identity and belonging.
I'm especially interested in what 'home' means to them and how they negotiate Irish and local identity.

A film that takes place where you're from.
Cowboys & Angels (2003) - filmed and set in Limerick.
It has not aged well!
Fun fact: I'm actually in this (second pic)! I was 17 and had done some youth theatre work. I auditioned but was only given a part as an extra.
It was all downhill from there...

Glad my history degree is helping my postgraduate psychology research! I've been down a CSO rabbit hole today.
