My main research interest is eighteenth-century Britain and Ireland, and particularly their place in the wider world. I have published books on war, the state and society in Britain, Ireland and North America and on Britain and Ireland's relationship with continental Europe. I am now working on a project on the continental European contribution to Britain's empire in the eighteenth century, and European imperial collaboration in the same period.
Teaching Summary
I teach general courses on British History, 1688-1860, and Colonial and Revolutionary North America. My document-based special subject focuses on the relationship between Britain and its North American colonies between 1760 and 1776 - the opening part of the American Revolution.
