Biography
Eamonn is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Social and Political Sciences. He is based in the Central and East European Studies subject area. His research interests primarily reflect the role and place of Central European states within European institutions (e.g. EU, NATO, OSCE). He has previously focused his research on European Union enlargement and post-accession policy matters, which has informed his recent work on energy security in the Central and East European region.
Eamonn is currently the Postgraduate Taught (PGT) Programmes Convenor and PGT Quality Assurance Officer for the School. He has played a leading role overseeing the development of the University’s Security Studies master's degree programmes, including the MSc Global Security and the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degree International Masters in Security, Intelligence and Strategic Studies (in conjunction with the Charles University Prague, University of Trento and Dublin City University).
