Nicholas Brown joined the History Program and the Australian Dictionary of Biography in 2004, returning from University College Dublin. His main areas of research are in Australian twentieth century cultural, political and environmental history, and Australian biography. His current research, in addition to editorial work with the ADB, centers on the role of ‘the international' as a concept shaping Australian politics and culture, and an environmental history of the south eastern region of New South Wales . He has supervised postgraduate students working in all areas of Australian history, and in urban and environmental studies. |
