- Profile
-
Siobhan joined the Sheffield Methods Institute in 2021. Siobhan’s research interests cover the social science of morality, values, political radicalism, and civic and cultural participation. Her methodological interests lie in generation of new historical datasets, linkage of born-digital and survey data, and network analysis. She believes strongly that research should either be socially-useful or deeply-scholarly, and selects projects accordingly. She is currently researching public policy failure and religious change in Ireland.
Siobhan is also Programme Director of the BA and BSc degrees in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, leading core modules on central concepts and research methods. She has particular interest in teaching behavioural public policy, and quantitative economics for non-economists. The PPE programmes at Sheffield accordingly have a strong methodological and conceptual core, equipping PPE graduates for careers in government, or government-facing roles in the private sector and civil society.
