I am a student in Trinity College Dublin, in Second Year studying History. I am an all rounder with wide interests in history but no specific field of interest (Though I tend to look at history from a social and cultural perspective)

I am interested in political issues, though generally from the comfort of an armchair, and most of my arguments seem to coincide with when I am under the influence of alcohol. I voted in the last election for the Green Party candidate in my constituency, and am a registered member of the Irish Green party. My commitment to tackling Climate Change and environmental issues, is again, sadly, tied to brief moments of aspirational conversation when under the influence of alcohol. I tend not to recycle or engage in any of the other traits one would associate with an environmentalist. In short order, I vote for the Greens as a result of a guilt complex due to my extraordinary laziness in terms of making an individual impact on the worlds environment.

My long term goal (Although again, it is important to seperate goal from aspiration) is the creation of a joke political party such as that in the UK (ie, The Raving Loony Party), where we would dress up in silly hats and campaign in important by-elections, poking fun at the political establishment.

Current Projects

Projects that I will intermittently be working on in the near future are:

• U.S. History
