Biography

After studying History at the Universities of St Andrews and Oxford, I have worked at the University of Limerick since 2001, and have published extensively in English and Spanish on the subject of early modern Spanish culture and politics. My current projects are for a general study of the effects of court favouritism on policy-making in Spain, as well as a book on Spanish policy covering the middle decades of the seventeenth century that takes the views and actions of the count of Pe�aranda, one of the most important ministers of Philip IV and Carlos II, as its central focus. I am also working in collaboration with other scholars on smaller projects relating to the diplomatic community in Madrid during the seventeenth century. My approach to the writing of History is one intended to appeal to specialists and general readers alike.

Research Interests

My research concentrates on elite culture within the Spanish Habsburg monarchy, with particular reference to the largely unstudied period between 1640 and 1700. As such, it is concerned not just with Iberian history, but with the history of elites in the Netherlands, Italy and the Holy Roman Empire. I am interested in examining the repercussions arising in court politics and foreign policy from the rulers� tendency to delegate their authority to minister-favourites. However, my research also seeks to understand the history of families within the titled nobility, and to reconstruct their ties of patronage and kinship.

Teaching Interests

I specialise in the teaching of political, social and cultural history of the early modern period in Great Britain and Europe, with particular emphasis on Britain, France and the Spanish Monarchy.

I am currently responsible for the following modules:

HI4066 Absolutes and Revolutionaries: Europe, 1715�1815 (third year)
HI4207 The First Global Empire: Spain, Europe, and America, 1479�1598 (final-year elective).
HI4227 Golden Age: Politics, Culture, and Warfare in the Spanish Monarchy, 1598�1746 (final-year elective).
HI6121 Art and Power in the Age of the Tudors and Stuarts (MA)

My approach emphasises interaction as a core component of undergraduate education, as well as the delivery of detailed and supportive feedback.
