Studying history is much more than learning dates and names. It's about exploring, questioning, and interpreting the stories we tell ourselves about the past.
Biography
I am Academic Course Leader in History, and Senior Lecturer in American History. My interest in the subject began with African American music and the blues, which led to my first book Blues, How Do You Do? (Michigan, 2015). More broadly, I am fascinated by the ways American culture has travelled and shaped societies and cultures beyond the nation’s borders.
These interests have led me to examine representations of American culture in Britain and the experiences of African American GI’s in Europe during WWII.

No One Listens to Your Dad's Show
UK readers will probably recognise Christian, as a radio DJ in London, he held the number one spot nationally and was well loved by locals and celebrities alike. What was not known was that he was suffering from crippling anxiety and panic attacks that put his entire career at risk. He quit his job and moved both his career and family to the other side of the world, to my chosen hometown, Melbourne, to work for Gold104.3FM, into one of the tightest radio markets in the world.
Now I inadvertently was an early listener of Christian's show, having reluctantly aged out of Triple J (you know the relationship is over when you're grumbling about how kids today don't know what real music is) and it was actually the twenty-billion billboards and ads for his show that drew me to turn the radio dial in my car over to Gold FM, where I've stayed ever since. What I didn't know was just how much flak and shit
