Biography
I have published and worked as an historian since 1986, researching various aspects of Australian history. My first book, Bligh, Macarthur and the Rum Rebellion (co-authored with Ross Fitzgerald), was published in 1988. I subsequently published widely in the field of labour history. Between 2002-4 I was a Sesquicentenary Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the discipline of Work and Organisational Studies, School of Business , University of Sydney . In recent years my research has focused on aspects of culture and governance in the period 1890-1914. In 2006-7 I was the C.H. Currey Memorial Fellow, State Library of New South Wales, researching the fin de siècle Imagination in Australia , 1890-1914. I am currently an Australian Prime Minister's Centre Fellow, Museum of Australian Democracy, Old Parliament House Canberra.
