My career has been balanced across academic editing and academic research (social
sciences). So, I bring to editing my own substantial experience of both researching and
publishing at the highest levels in my field and applying successfully for research funding. I have held university positions in Australia, Denmark, and Finland. I am currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Canberra, in the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research.

Subject matter experience

Academic, especially social sciences and humanities, and public policy, though I have edited across all fields.
