Research Advising and History Methods Reading Group

At Princeton, I was lucky enough to get to mentor both undergraduate and graduate students in the early stages of independent research work. At present, I am not available to advise masters or doctoral projects at UNSW. However, I am available to advise undergraduate students wishing to undertake an honours thesis in topics related to history of science or modern global history. If you’re considering doing honours in history at UNSW and want to discuss a potential project with me, I’d be delighted to meet with you; please feel free to contact me by email. If you’re a current PhD or MA student and you want to join the history methods reading group, please email me or the other organizer, Dr. Naomi Parkinson.
