Educational Background

Just a little on my background:

I have a BA in Applied Psychology from University College Cork (www.ucc.ie) and a Phd in Social/Organisational Psychology from Dublin City University (www.dcu.ie).

My doctoral work examined identity-creation and identity-management processes in organisational entrants (mature students entering an undergraduate degree programme) and was conducted under Dr. Finian Buckley (http://www.dcu.ie/info/staff_member.php?id_no=198). The PhD thesis can be found at http://doras.dcu.ie/2359/ .

It was during the evolution of my doctoral work that I became enthralled by the concept of identity, by how people create an identity/identities, by how they manage those identities and by how identities can change over time.
