Dr Des Fitzgerald
Research interests
I am a sociologist of neuroscience, with active research interests in mental health, urbanicity, psychiatry, autism and emotion. At the Department of Social Science, Health and Medicine, I am Co-Investigator on an ESRC-funded project on the links between urban life, neurobiology, and mental illness. I also have a longstanding interest in interdisciplinarity - both in making the space for creative interdisciplinary work, but also in re-thinking the intellectual and institutional fabric of 'interdisciplinarity' as such.
