About
I am a scholar of the political thought and culture of late 19th and early 20th century British Imperialism and Settler Colonialism. I am particularly interested in the historical interdependency of morality, law, and political identity. My research has primarily focused on teasing out this relationship in the context of somewhat non-traditional connections between British settler societies and Britain's colonies in Asia and Africa.
You can read more about my research interests on Academia.edu In 2015, I submitted my PhD dissertation on the development of the idea of imperial citizenship in late 19th century and early 20th century Australasia. I am also developing two book-length postdoctoral projects, one, with Chris Holdridge, on Boer Prisoners of War interned throughout the British Empire from 1899-1910, and another on the political, economic, and cultural connections between the Australasian colonies and the Indian Empire from 1874 to 1901. I first became interested in historical research during my time as an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin. I then studied at Oxford, where I received a Master's degree in Global and Imperial History, and have just completed my history PhD at the University of Sydney.
