Biography
I have a BA (combined honours) in Chinese and Russian (Queensland, 1990) and a PhD in public policy from University of Strathclyde (2004).
Prior to joining U. Glasgow in 2011, I held research posts at the Universities of Aberdeen (2005-2010) and Strathclyde (1997-2005). I also worked in the Forestry Commission of Great Britain (1992-1996).
