Seán Lucey

Dr. Sean Lucey is the Research Manager in the College of Business and Law. He is responsible for the management, development and support of research activity across the College, especially in the Cork University Business School and School of Law. This position involves developing and implementing the College’s research strategy, and identifying, initiating and supporting new and existing research collaborations and networks. I also promote research funding opportunities.

He also has an extensive academic background in medical humanities and history and have held teaching and research positions in the University of Liverpool, Queen’s University Belfast, Trinity College Dublin and Oxford Brookes University. Much of this work has been in multi-disciplinary contexts and I have taught and researched in history departments, medical schools, and public health units. I also have a track record of successfully competing for research funding and have received grants from Irish and British funding agencies including the Irish Research Council, Royal Irish Academy, British Academy and the Northern Ireland Executive. I have also worked on wider research projects funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK), Economics and Social Research Council (UK), and Wellcome Trust.

He also has an extensive publishing background. In 2015 Manchester University Press published my second monograph which explored welfare and healthcare reform in inter-war Ireland. Also in 2015, he co-edited a collection of essays which explores healthcare in comparative and regional settings in Britain and Ireland from 1850 -- this was published by the Institute of Historical Research, London. He has also published another monograph with University College Dublin Press and numerous journal articles and book chapters.
