Areas of supervision

I am able to supervise students researching international political economy, free trade agreements, geo-economics, hegemony and world order, the digital economy and technological disruption, intellectual property law, and corporate power.

PLEASE NOTE - for prospective masters by research and PhD candidates: As a junior scholar, I can only be a primary supervisor if a more senior scholar is also on the supervisory team as a secondary or joint supervisor.That is, I cannot be listed as a sole supervisor on an application. This is a matter of UNSW's policy on higher degree research supervision.

I do not review proposals or discuss possible supervision until I know that the candidature can progress, which means at a minimum they have approached another faculty member who can act as a primary, secondary or joint supervisor. I will not be able to recruit someone for you - you will need to approach them yourself.
