Hello,

I taught Modern History for 15 years at Canterbury Christ Church University. Previously I held posts at the University of Suffolk and the University of Essex. I also taught at Queen Mary (University of London), Royal Holloway, Birkbeck College, London South Bank University and the Open University. 

I have published three books, including my latest book on The Tithe War and an acclaimed, critical biography of the French Communist leader, Maurice Thorez.

I speak regularly at local history societies and community organisations in Kent and beyond.
