She co-authored works like Poverty, Children and the Poor Law in Industrial Belfast (2023) and contributes to public history initiatives at Glasnevin Cemetery Museum.
Dr. Laragy holds a Ph.D. (2005) from NUI Maynooth and has held roles at Queen’s University Belfast and Oxford Brookes University. Her teaching includes modules on public history, Irish institutions, and the global history of suicide. She advises students on 19th–20th century Irish social history and institutional studies.
Her articles analyze suicide trends during the Great Famine, child welfare policies post-1921, and carceral systems in Ireland. She bridges academic research with public engagement, such as interpreting historical mortality data and memorialization practices.
