About

I am an independent researcher. Current research exmaines the collection of ideas that historically have generated the conditions from which has arisen the climate crisis. In doing this I am placing particular emphasis on the phenomenon known as ‘Othering’, or the construction ideologically of an ‘Other’ onto whom to shift the blame for crimes that have inadvertantly resulted in anthropogenic global warming (‘Terra Nullius’ for example).

I am the author of The Oldest Trick in the Book Panic-Driven Scapegoating in History and Recurring Patterns of Persecution. This book theorises a model of panic-driven crisis leveraging and scapegoating using case studies in witch panic, communist panic and terrorist panic, and interdisciplinary studies including moral panic research in sociology, and moral disengagement studies in social psychology.

I do a lot of other writing in addition to this; you can find some of my academic writing on Academia.edu. I produce beats as Nomad. You can hear my tunes on Soundcloud.

I have a BA with Honours in history from La Trobe, and an MA in history from the University of Melbourne, for which I produced a thesis. You can download that as a PDF here.

I am a qualified secondary teacher. I work variously as a research assistant, semi-professional writer and university lecturer.
