Additional information
I received my PhD in History from the University of Cambridge in 1995 before taking up a post-doctoral fellowship at Yale University. I was appointed as a lecturer in International History and Intelligence Studies at Aberystwyth University in 1998. From 2004 through 2015 I was editor of Intelligence and National Security, the world's leading journal on intelligence and security issues. I left Aberystwyth to join the History Department at Strathclyde in 2011. I took up the Chair in Global Security at the University of Glasgow in 2013. I am also a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Historical Society. I was Visiting Professor at the History Department at 'Sciences po' for the academic year 2012-2013 and at the Université de Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne for the academic year 2017-2018. From 2015-2017 I led an AHRC-funded Research Network entitled 'The Practice of International History in the Twenty-First Century'. I am presently PI on a major AHRC Research Grant entitled 'The Weight of the Past in Franco-British Relations since 1815', which began in June 2018 and runs through to the end of 2021. With my colleague Christian Tams, Chair of International Law here at the University of Glasgow, I also lead a Research Network funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh entitled ‘Visions of Global Order: Peace, Law and Security after the First World War’.
