Hello!

My name is Colm Flaherty and I'm a sociologist currently working at the Department of Social Sciences and Business at Roskilde University. I'm currently a Postdoc within the Horizon Europe UNTWIST project, which you can read more about here.

My research focuses on culture, political participation, political knowledge practices, everyday life, stigmatization, and identity. I received my PhD in Sociology from Lund University in June 2022. My dissertation investigated themes surrounding social change, collective action, and stigma in a radical leftist movement in Sweden, with a specific interest in the construction and pursuit of community within this environment. You can read more about it here.

You can find a copy of my CV here. A relatively recent list of my publications can be found here. If you want to get in touch, my contact information is here.

Teaching

I am primarily involved in teaching sociology, methods (both quantitative and qualitative), and supervising at the Department of Social Sciences and Business at Roskilde University, at the Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD levels. Previously, I have taught at the Department of Sociology, the Department of Gender Studies, and the Department of Social Work at Lund University and at Kristianstad Högskola.
