His recent book Changing Land: Diaspora Activism and the Irish Land War (2021) examined radical networks in Ireland and Irish migrant communities in Scotland, England, the United States and Argentina. His first book, The Dynamiters: Irish nationalism and political violence in the wider world, 1867-1900, appeared in 2012. His present project is a book length study of Irish migration to Argentina and the south Atlantic world more widely in the long nineteenth century.
