Derry Keohane
Derry holds an MA in Philosophy and Politics from the University of Edinburgh; dissertation in Social Cognition, and MA Politics from the University of Manchester; dissertation in Democratic Innovations. He joined the british OSIRIS team at MioIR in autumn 2018. Derry's PhD project is entitled 'Impact of Science on Policymaking: Understanding the user side'.
"My interest in OSIRIS stems from a general dissatisfaction with the lack of engagement - or perhaps more accurately a dysfunctional engagement - with science that currently pervades politics in general. The long-term, cross-national approach taken by OSIRIS presents a fantastic opportunity to investigate this issue with greater scope and effectiveness."
