Prof Anna Hickey-Moody
Biography
Anna Hickey-Moody is the Director of the Arts and Humanities Institute and inaugural Senior Academic Leadership Ireland (SALI) Professor of Intersectional Humanities. Her qualitative and theoretical research explores intersecting angles of disadvantage through philosophical and creative approaches. Anna came to Maynooth to develop interdisciplinary research culture exploring intersectionality across the humanities. Prior to joining Maynooth, Anna was Professor of Media and Communication at RMIT University, Melbourne where she held an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship called Interfaith Childhoods. For this large research project, Anna created a responsive arts based research design that allowed her to collaborate with hard to reach communities through building strong relationships with children through art making. She worked with schools, communities and religious organisations across Australia and the U.K to collect and share stories of faith told by diverse religious and secular people. This method offered a way of developing public understandings of what belonging feels like in superdiverse, multicultural cities. You can read what the research participants had to say in the book Faith Stories: Sustaining Meaning and Community in Troubling Times (MUP, 2023). Anna also led the Creative Research in Methods and Practice (CRiMP Lab) and you can read the lab’s work in New Materialist Affirmations a collection coming out with Edinburgh University Press in 2024. This feminist research laboratory supported a community of queer and gender diverse researchers working at the intersection of creative practice as a research method, visual sociology and creative anthropology at RMIT. Before joining RMIT University, Anna was Associate Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney. She has also held positions at Goldsmiths, London and Monash University, Melbourne. Anna is a very experienced PhD supervisor and is available to supervise projects exploring religion, disability, sexuality, gender, race, youth. She has published widely on gender, sexuality, disability, religion and race and racism as they shape young lives. At the moment Anna is writing up stories from a regional brown coal mining area and thinking about the relationships between pleasure and class in the lives of mining communities.
