Biography

Before joining Flinders as Dean of SIS In January 2011, I was the founding East Asia program director at the Lowy Institute in Sydney where I remain a visiting fellow.

Academically, I have a joint Bachelors degree in History and International Relations from McGill University in Canada (my country of birth), a Masters Degree in International Relations from the International University of Japan and a PhD in the same discipline from the Australian National University.

I have had the opportunity of living and working in Canada, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines before moving to Australia and I enjoy working in the intersections between academia, government and media.
