Research interests
My research is oriented towards international security. I have published on counter-terrorism, countering human trafficking, counter-proliferation efforts, security in the Pacific, and the rise of police in international security situations. I am currently working on a Marsden-funded team project looking at peacebuilding in the South Pacific, on gender and militarism, Australasian engagement with East Asian regionalism, counter-hegemonic strategies (to keep with the 'counter' theme!), and beginning to work up a very sizeable project on 'The State and Security'.

Supervision interests
I am interested in supervising theses on international security topics, particularly those that consider non-traditional security issues, issues of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and Pacific related topics.
