I have worked at Massey for the past nine years, starting out at the (then) School of History, Philosophy and Classical Studies, and the School of People, Environment and Planning, before coming to CDSS. In that time I have taught on a range of subjects, from philosophy, politics and international relations, to conflict, strategic and security studies. I hold academic qualifications in political science, philosophy, classical studies and economics from Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington, and am currently working towards a PhD at the University of Auckland. My research interests include political and security theory and the ethics of armed conflict, particularly as it applies to the issue of terrorism.
