I am a global historian with particular interests in the First World War, Germany’s global entanglements, and Public History. Monographs include ‘Enemies in the Empire. Civilian Internment in the British Empire during the First World War’ (Oxford University Press), and ‘Constructing a German Diaspora. The Greater German Empire, 1871 – 1914’ (Routledge; CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title). My forthcoming monograph, also with Oxford UP, is entitled ‘Making Food Empires. German Science and Global Mass Production, 1870-1914’. My research and impact activities have been funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, Innovate UK (Knowledge Transfer Partnership), the British Academy, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and the Gerda Henkel Foundation. They include two major public history projects: the Internment Research Centre, as well as prize-winning ‘South Africa World War I: Digital and Virtual Experiences’. I am a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a Research Associate at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, and a member of the AHRC Peer Review College.
