Career

He is emeritus professor of the Department of Geography at University College Cork, Ireland. He was the former Head of this department. At present, he contributes regularly to the Socio-Territorial Research Group at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia).

His research is mainly focused on Atlantic Europe - with a particular interest in Galicia[1] and Atlantic Iberia - from the perspective of cultural and historical Geography.
