Research Interests Research interest is primarily in the apartheid period, with a special interest in the Truth & Reconciliation Commission, and ideas of 'reconciliation' more generally. Also have an interest in the 19th & 20th Centuries more generally, particularly indigenous political rights in the colonial period leading up to Union in 1910, and political developments - especially those dealing with racial issues - in the 20th Century; and the South African War 1899-1902, and its causes and immediate aftermath.

Teaching Interests Teach a course (Undergraduate, 2nd & 3rd Year) on 'South Africa under Apartheid, 1948-1994', which gets a large and enthusiastic student enrolment. Next year, for the first time, I shall also teach a 4th Year Honours seminar on 'Apartheid South Africa: Society & Politics' I have also taught a South African component in comparative colonial courses, taught at 1st year undergraduate level: 'Colonisers and Colonised A: South Africa, Australia & Canada, 1800-1900' ; 'Colonisers and Colonised B: South Africa, Australia & Canada, 1900-1990s' ; and, at 2nd & 3rd year level: 'Empire, Race and Human Rights: South Africa, Australia & Canada, 1900-2000' Have supervised a number of Honours theses dealing with South African history in the apartheid period; and at least one dealing with the Cape colony in the 1830s.
