I am a doctoral candidate at The University of Queensland. My PhD thesis is on Witchcraft and Diabolism in Early Modern England. Prior to my doctoral studies I completed a Masters in International Studies (Peace & Conflict Resolution), with a thesis on the failure of international responses to the Rwandan Genocide. And I have a Bachelor of Arts (History, Hons I) with an honours thesis on the religious and cultural underpinnings of Afrikaner Nationalism in the early twentieth century.
My blog, "Enchanted History" (http://witchcrafthistory.blogspot.com.au/), updates every Sunday.
