Science fiction has received increasing academic attention in recent years. Lost in Space brings together an international collection of authors to explore the diverse spatialities and geographies of outer space.
I'm a professor at the National University of Ireland Maynooth and the author or editor of 28 academic books and a 12 volume encyclopedia, and author of four crime novels and two collections of short stories. My passions are reading and writing crime fiction and undertaking research on social issues. I contribute to three blogs: The View From the Blue House, Ireland After NAMA, and The Programmable City.
