I am a graduate of UCD, and Maynooth University. I have taught philosophy and latterly, theology for the last twenty years. My teaching career has spanned both universities at Maynooth, the Queen's University Belfast, the Redemptoris Mater, Dundalk, St Malachy's Seminary, Belfast, the Maryvale Institute, Birmingham, the Dominican Studium (Dublin) and the Priory Institute, Tallaght. I have also been a guest lecturer at the University of Klaipeda, Lithuania. I am or have been a member of the Irish Philosophical Society, the Royal Institute of Philosophy, the American Catholic Philosophical Association, the Cáirde Thomáis Naofa, the Bioethics Study Group Ireland, The Guild of Catholic Scholars and the Third Order of St Dominic. I am at present researching and writing on the concept of persona in the Latin Christian intellectual tradition, leading to a PhD from the University of Limerick. Thereafter I hope to embark on an intellectual biography of the Thomist philosopher, social scientist and churchman, Jeremiah Newman (1926–1995).
