Eoin LenihanDr Eoin Lenihan is an independent journalist and researcher. Born in the west of Ireland, he grew up in the Celtic Tiger era which shaped his views on politics, culture, and national identity. He holds a B.A. in History and Archaeology as well as an .A. in Archaeology from the National University of Ireland, Galway. He worked as a field archaeologist at the height of the Celtic Tiger. Witnessing the vandalisation of Ireland's archaeological landscapes, notably the Hill of Allen and the Hill of Tara to make way for economic 'progress', raised early concerns that Irish identity was in existential danger. Lenihan holds a doctorate in Pedagogy from the University of Augsburg. He worked as a teacher of Humanities at second level in Germany and taught student teachers at postgraduate level. After writing for education journals and magazines, he switched his attention to politics. His peer-reviewed empirical study of Antifa uncovered damning evidence of how Antifa in the US infiltrated the national media. It is the largest empirical study of the group to date. His work on violent extremism has appeared on AlJazeera and Fox News among others. He has written for a wide range of international news outlets including The Federalist, The European Conservative, Gript, Daily Caller, Quillette and The Post Millennial.
