I joined the School of Humanities & Social Sciences in 1988. My research interests lie in Third World history. I have researched on French colonial West Africa and on late eighteenth century South India. I have been on television (BBC 4) talking about ‘Tippoo’s Tiger’ in relation to this.
This is an object in the Victoria and Albert Museum and I have long had a teaching interest in that area, hence my former course on Museum and Gallery Studies. I mainly teach about this now in History: Theory and Practice. I have taught courses on Modern Indian and African history.
I helped create the History degree which I led in the early 1990s. I teach on a number of History courses at all three levels.
