Biography
I did my PhD at Murdoch in Asian Studies and History, examining various aspects of Japanese-Mongolian relations prior to the end of World WarTwo, within the larger context of Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese relations. While I remain interested in Japanese-Mongolian relations, in particular Japanese humanitarian imperialism and its influence on the development of volunteer/humanitarian organisations in post-war Japan, I am now involved in a number of projects designed to improve the integration of academic and professional staff in the development of Foundation units as a means of enhancing student learning and retention.
Research Interest
Japanese-Mongolian relations in the context of Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese relations. Japanese-Islamic relations in Northeast Asia. The role of women in Japanese-Mongolian relations. Integration of academic and professional staff to enhance first year student learning and retention. Blended learning as a means of enhancing first year student learning and retention.
