Dr Tod Moore

Biography

Since my full time appointment in 2010, I have remained research oriented. I previously worked with Prof. Graham Maddox at UNE and then with Prof. James Walter at Monash before coming to Newcastle. Articles in A journals (both sole and co-authored), book chapters, and refereed conference papers, all solidify scholarship in Australian political ideas, Australian federal politics, history of political thought, and sovereignty theory in IR. Recent work combines sovereignty research with history of political thought to examine the nature and significance of liberal imperialism across time. Current projects involve Australian federalism, history of Australian political science, the Occupy Movement, and pamphlets of World War One and the Great Depression. Since 2009 I have been responsible for establishing and coordinating our large POLI3001 capstone course in business and government, and teaching comparative politics and IR courses. I am also involved in HONS and RHD supervision.
