She completed her PhD in Sociology at the University of Cambridge in 2019 and is a research fellow at the Lucy Cavendish College, affiliated with the University of Cambridge. Niamh's doctoral research investigated the emergence of financial subjects and everyday entrepreneurs amidst widening economic inequality in the United Kingdom since the 1980s. Her current research project, funded in partnership with local authorities, examines the impacts of financial exclusion on indebted households. Utilizing a critical approach, Niamh analyzes how these households navigate financial services in light of their limited access and the resulting inequalities. She has received multiple research fellowships and scholarships, including the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Fellowship and the Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Master's Scholarship. Niamh’s work is pivotal in understanding the financialization of everyday life and the socio-economic factors contributing to precarious living conditions.
