He headed the three-year degree capstone course at St. Mary's, IDST 400: Interdisciplinary Seminar, from 2003-2009. His book, The Depiction and Images of War in Edwardian Newspaper, 1899-1914, published by Palgrave, combined media studies, cultural studies, and military history. Current research interests include the digital mode of history, with Jerremie Clyde; the utopian vision in Rev. W. Awdry's Railway Series; and a study of post-war British war films (1945-1960). He was elected Fellow to the Royal Historical Society in 2009 and lives with his activist wife and five children (daughter, son and set of identical triplet girls) in chaotic bliss.
