Senior Lecturer in Defence Studies, Massey University

I teach defence studies and war and society in the Centre for Defence and Security Studies, Massey University, New Zealand. My research interests traverse historical and contemporary military operations and air power, and the connectedness between armed forces and society.

My education includes a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History from the University of New England, Australia, a PhD in History from the University of New South Wales, and both a Postgraduate Diploma in Museum Studies and a Postgraduate Certificate in Tertiary Teaching and Learning from Massey University.
