Economics Staff Listing

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 Brídín's 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.
