After careers in IT, ESL teaching and Management, I completed a PhD in modern European history—with a specialisation in modern Italy—at the University of Melbourne, Australia. I lectured and tutored in the History Department at the University of Melbourne and in the School of Social Sciences at Victoria University, before joining NUS in 2006. My research interests include: modern Italian history and politics, with an emphasis on Italian fascism, antifascism and resistance, as well as Risorgimental studies; modern European history—with an emphasis on Germany, Russia and Spain; nineteenth and twentieth century British history; twentieth century military history; war and gender; the comparative study of fascism; labour and social history, both in Britain and Italy; oral history—particularly the relationship between memory and history; migration history (especially Italian settlement); European nationalism; and the history of civil and human rights.
I am an Honorary Fellow at the Contemporary Europe Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia and a Socio benemerito at the Istituto Piemontese per la Storia della Resistenza e della Società Contemporanea “Giorgio Agosti” in Turin, Italy.
