This is a small, personal website that details what I’ve done professionally. Please feel free to navigate around and do contact me if you want to.
I am a Senior Lecturer in International Relations in the Department of Politics, History and International Relations at Loughborough University, the Director of Taught Postgraduate Studies in the Department and an elected member of University Senate. During 2011, I have been Senate’s representative on two senior appointment panels. I have previously worked at King’s College London and the University of Bristol.
At KCL, I was a member of the College’s Academic Board and Director of the Postgraduate Taught Programme in Defence Studies, the largest social science masters in the EU at the time. Since moving to Loughborough I have been elected to Loughborough University’s Senate (2010-14), and during the 2010-11 academic session I was a delegate on the negotiating board at the university.
I have recently become the Convenor of the PSA/BISA Specialist Group, the Security and Intelligence Studies Group.
I began my academic career in 2003, and I work broadly within the areas of intelligence studies, and defence studies. The two of these interests occasionally overlap and I have done some research into the role of intelligence in the legal arms trade.
