Personal Homepage

I am currently supervising or have supervised postgraduate work in the following areas: Genocide in Cambodia, Cultural Memory in Cambodia, Francophone Caribbean Writing and Identities, Civil Unrest in France, Discourses of Health and Hygiene in the French Empire, Islam and masculinities. I am very happy to discuss potential postgraduate projects in any of the areas noted above. I would particularly welcome proposals from students who are considering working on projects which link war studies and colonial studies.
