Teaching and Research Interests

Main research interests include Scottish and British relations with Scandinavia and Northern Europe 1560-1750. I am also deeply interested in Scottish Maritime History. I am currently working on two main projects and have strong interests in Maritime History. I am continuing to develop my research and teaching interests into European contacts with Asia c. 1500-1750.
