Betty Healy, (PhD Researcher)

As a first-year Ph.D. researcher at Ulster University, my focus lies on the post-Brexit landscape in Northern Ireland, specifically examining Unionism, Identity, and Citizenship. This research aims to unravel the socio-political dynamics in the aftermath of Brexit, offering insights into the evolving challenges and transformations in the region. I am passionate about contributing to the academic discourse on these crucial topics and look forward to making meaningful contributions in understanding the contemporary Northern Irish landscape.

Project title: 

I am dedicated to unraveling the complexity of human geography, my research interests revolve around the dynamic interplay of conflict, citizenship, and identity. With a primary focus on Northern Ireland and the profound implications of Brexit, I am deeply committed to understanding how these factors shape societal narratives. Exploring gender identity within these contexts adds a crucial layer to my investigations. As I continue to delve into the intricate landscapes of conflict and identity, my sights are set on expanding my research horizons to encompass the complexities of Middle Eastern conflicts.
