Prior to joining the University of Gloucestershire in 2022, I taught and researched for over twelve years – in architectural design, history, and theory; art history; and urban history and theory – at the University of Melbourne, Deakin University, and the University of New South Wales.

Teaching & Research

Teaching

My teaching emphasises the propinquity of architectural design, history, and theory, and is undergirded by the belief that architects should be not just intuitive, but also informed.

I am available for postgraduate research supervision in architectural design, history, and theory.

Research

My research chiefly provokes intersections – of architectural representation and art, cultural, and social histories – in underrepresented groups and regions, and deploys counter-hegemonic and multinational approaches.
