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 in research and writing at the University of Canberra, in the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research, and I hold a PhD (2002) from the ANU.
