Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I am keen to supervise projects on Economic Statecraft, past and present, the military history of the two world wars, British strategy from Gladstone to Churchill, and morale and combat motivation. I am particularly keen to encourage projects with a comparative/international dimension.

Past PhD students include Dr Aimee Fox-Godden, 'Inter-Theatre Learning in the British Army during the First World War' and Dr Andrew Duncan, 'The Training and Ethos of British Officers before the First World War'

Current projects include: 'Photographic Reconnaissance and Data Management in the First World War' (Nicole Chicarelli), 'Pilot Training in the Luftwaffe before and during the Second World War' (Frank Gerards), 'The psychological and moral impact of early tanks', 'The American and British occupations of Germany', 'Blitzkrieg and its imitators', 'Politics and patronage within the British Army before 1914' and 'Early USAF strategic bombing doctrine'.
