Professor of History, University of Adelaide

I have a BA (Hons I, University Medal) with majors in English and History, PhD in History and a Dip Ed from University of Sydney. My thesis was on American History but I work more in Australian History now including Museology and History Pedagogy. I was a Harkness Fellow to University of Pennsylvania and, most recently, a Redmond Barry Fellow to State Library of Victoria. I was until recently Head of the School of Humanities, University of Adelaide.
My research fields cover post war Australian history especially 1950s-60s, museology, automotive history, memorial culture and history pedagogy.
