Biography

Reared in Melbourne, I left Australia in 1971. After five years in England (where my son was born) and one year in Ireland, we returned to Melbourne for two years before moving to Ireland (where my daughter was born). I lived there for twenty years with occasional visits home including a 20-month stint in Canberra in 1990-2. This is when I discovered how much Canberra and ANU suited me so I returned here to live in 1999.

I have worked in several areas all linked by history – curating exhibitions for the Ulster Bank Sesquicentenary in Dublin and for the centenary of St. Andrew's College, Dublin; preparing historical publications for the Australian War Memorial, Trinity College Dublin and St. Andrew's College, Dublin; and teaching both at universities (Monash, 1970-1, Trinity College Dublin, 1981-9 and Dublin City University, 1995-9) and at secondary schools (Stratford College Dublin, 1984-5; St. Andrew's College Dublin, 1992-9). Based in the Humanities Research Centre, I am currently working as Iain McCalman's research assistant on his 18th century projects, necessitating two visits to London so far.
