Visiting Fellow: Dr Geraldine Moane

I thought colleagues might be interested to know that this term we have a Visiting Research Fellow in SHaCS.  Dr Geraldine Moane is Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at University College Dublin (UCD).  She is visiting University of Brighton as a Marie Cure Transfer of Knowledge Fellow.  The aim of the Transfer of Knowledge programme with which she is associated is to develop organisational capacity in interdisciplinary approaches to equality and social justice, and specifically, to develop the Egalitarian World Initiative (EWI) at UCD. from University College Dublin.  SHaCS is one of seven partners in the project and we will be hosting two other Fellows later in the year.  Click for further information on the programme.

Geraldine's primary interests are in Feminist Theory and Psychology, where she has contributed to the development of liberation psychology with particular application to women and to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered persons.  Her publications include Gender and colonialism: A psychological analysis of oppression and liberation (Basingstoke: Macmillan/Palgrave 1999, revised edition 2009); she is currently co-editing a special issue of Feminism and Psychology with M. Brinton Lykes of Boston College on "Whither feminist-liberation psychology?  Critical explorations of feminist and liberation psychologies for a globalizing world'.

Ger (pronounced with a J) can be contacted by email at ger.moane@ucd.ie (and see contact details below).  She has a work space in the Centre for Research and Development at Grand Parade, a pigeonhole in the SHaCS office, and the use of my office (302 Pavilion Parade) on Fridays and most Thursdays this term (tel. 3094).  She is keen to meet up with colleagues who share mutual interests, so do make contact. 
Ger will be giving a talk in the Politics Philosophy Aesthetics open seminar series on Thursday 11th December at 6.30 pm in G7 Pavilion Parade.  Her topic is:  "Liberation and Postcolonial Psychologies". All welcome!
