I am Director of Studies, Military and Defence Studies Program at the Australian War College. My areas of interest are classical strategy and Professional Military Education.

I am on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Further and Higher Education, an international journal concerned with all aspects of higher education, and I review submissions for a range of higher education journals.

After completing my PhD in contemporary Australian autobiography at UNSW, I spent nearly a decade in university administration and management at ANU and the University of Tasmania. I returned to academic work in 2013.
