Research Interests:
My current research is concerned with locating early colonial Australian experience within the political and social currents of the transatlantic world. I am especially interested in the inter-colonial transportation in the British Empire during the abolition of slavery and reform movement in Britain and the empire. My most recent work is on runaway slaves of the American Revolution.
