We are extremely pleased to have two new faculty members at the School of Sociology! Both Dr. Mathew Creighton and Dr. Eoin Flaherty joined our School and University College Dublin in September 2016.
Assistant Professor Mathew Creighton
Mathew graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 with a joint PhD in sociology and demography. Before coming to Dublin he worked at the Sociology Department at the University of Massachusetts, Boston and in the Department of Political and Social Science at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
His work is concerned with the causes and consequences of immigration. In the context of destination, he focuses on anti-immigrant sentiment and the implication of social incorporation for health inequality. Currently, his research explores the formation of the “other”, focusing on attitudes toward religion and immigration. In the context of origin, he considers the role of immigration and public policy in schooling and the interrelation of networks, decisions to migrate and health. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals in sociology, demography, public health, history and urban studies.
Before arriving at UCD, Eoin spent two years as post-doctoral fellow at the National institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis (Maynooth University), and two years as lecturer in sociology at Queen's University Belfast.
His main topics of interest include income inequality, environmental sociology, comparative research, quantitative methods (time series, and pooled time series), 19th century Ireland, famine, common-pool resource systems, historical geography, spatial data analysis, complexity theory, and human ecology. He is always happy to speak with students about these topics.
He studies the socioeconomic and ecological processes which give rise to national and cross-national inequalities. He applies these approaches to the study of top income inequality, the division of national product between capital and labour, and the uneven impact of famine.
