Summary
I studied for my PhD under Donald Cameron Watt and Antony Best at the London School of Economics, and then worked as a research assistant on a project ‘Western Defence and the Origins and Evolution of NATO, 1947 - 1953’ at the West London Institute of Higher Education under Geoffrey Matthews. I then became lecturer in American Studies at WLIHE, and director of Studies for American Studies at Brunel. I am now Reader in International History. I am a committee member of the British International Historians Group of the British International Studies Association (BISA), and a member of the Society of Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR). I have also had a long and varied career as an amateur actor and guileful off-spinner.
