Research Supervisor Connect
After completing my BA in History and Philosophy at the University of Ottawa, in Canada, I returned to Britain to do a DPhil at Balliol College, Oxford, where I also taught briefly and served as Junior Dean. I then taught at the University of Wales, Swansea before taking up a new post in Atlantic History at the University of Sydney, in 2004. I am currently working on several major research projects, including an exploration of comparative Indigenous experiences of empire in a Revolutionary Age (with Kate Fullagar, Macquarie University), an examination of the place of the American Revolution in Black American life (with Clare Corbould, Monash University, and W. Fitzhugh Brundage, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), and a study of Revolutionary War memoirs written by lower-class veterans of the conflict.
