As an independent researcher and communications professional, I have written extensively on arts, culture, minorities, cultural diversity and Jewish history. I have contributed features and reviews to numerous publications in Ireland and the UK, reviewing books on Jewish history, the Holocaust, and general arts journalism. I have  also been a regular contributor to Irish national radio, commenting on Jewish history, the Holocaust, Anne Frank, cultural diversity and a range of writers including Toni Morrison, Nina Berberova, Grace Paley, Truman Capote and Alice Walker. I also worked as researcher on a number of documentaries, and co-wrote the script with Louis Lentin of his documentary, No More Blooms, the first Irish TV program to deal with Irish government policy towards Jewish refugees in World War Two. In the last five years I have contributed to panels at various conferences in Ireland and the UK, mostly on Jewish writers and radical politics in the Thirties, and lectured on Jewish women writers and 20th century anglophone literature.

My book ‘Irish Writers and the Thirties: Art, Exile & War’ is published by Routledge in their Studies in Cultural History series. Based on extensive original archival material, unpublished memoirs, diaries and correspondence, it recounts the neglected social and cultural history of Irish writers in the Thirties and their political and literary engagement, as anti fascists and internationalists, as part of a broader global cultural movement.
