I am a Professor of Security and Society at Adelaide University (Australia), an Honorary Professor at the University of East Anglia (UK), and a Visiting Professor in International Politics at Loughborough University (UK).
 
My research focuses on how security challenges such as terrorism, radicalisation, cyber-threats, and pandemics are constructed, communicated, and addressed, and the implications of this for democracy, citizenship, communities, and policy. I have published seventeen books, six special issues, and over sixty journal articles on these topics. My work has appeared in journals including Review of International Studies, International Studies Quarterly, International Political Sociology, Security Dialogue, and Terrorism and Political Violence. My books include research monographs with Manchester University Press and Palgrave, and the award-winning Terrorism: A Critical Introduction.
 
My work has been funded by various external organisations including the Economic and Social Sciences Research Council (ESRC), the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), the Australian Research Council (ARC), NATO, and the U.S. Office for Naval Research. I co-edit the academic journal Critical Studies on Terrorism, and have founded and directed research networks including the multinational, multidisciplinary Cyberterrorism Project. Much of my research is explicitly interdisciplinary, and I have coauthored, coedited, and otherwise collaborated with scholars in disciplines including Law, Media Studies, Engineering, Criminology, Political Science, and International Relations.
 
In my research I work with a range of non-academic partners, including policymakers, parliamentarians, police forces, advocacy groups, and local communities. A recent project, for instance, culminated in a screening of original films on 'British [Muslim] Values' produced by participant researchers from Muslim communities in Eastern England. I sit on the Peer Review Colleges for the ESRC and the UK’s Global Challenges Research Fund, and have reviewed grant applications, monographs, or articles for over forty-five organisations. From 2023-2025 I served as an elected trustee of the British International Studies Association, chairing the Susan Strange Best Book Prize for an oustanding book published in the field of International Studies. My PhD was awarded in 2008 from the University of Birmingham. Since then I have supervised ten research students to completion, and examined eighteen theses including for universities in Australia, Italy, New Zealand and the UK. I have taught modules at undergraduate and postgraduate level on a range of themes including terrorism, counter-terrorism, security studies, International Relations theory, philosophy of social science, and research methods.
 
Prior to my current appointment, I held posts at Oxford Brookes University, Swansea University, the University of East Anglia, and Loughborough University. I served as Director of Loughborough's Centre for Security Studies, and as Associate Dean for Research for the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at UEA, with responsibility for leading, developing and implementing Faculty strategy with respect to research across four large Schools and an Interdisciplinary Institute. That role built on four years of service as Research Director for the School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies. Other leadership positions I have held include Course Director, and Director of Undergraduate Admissions.

My research is situated within critical approaches to Security Studies, International Relations and Politics. It tends to focus on the communication of, and response to, security threats such as terrorism, radicalisation, extremism, cybersecurity challenges, and global pandemics.

My research contributes directly to two of Adelaide University's Signature Research Themes: Defence and National Security, and Creative and Culture.

Specific interests and projects include:  

1. The politics of counter-terrorism. My work here explores how politicians discuss, justify and 'sell' counter-terrorism policy to various audiences, as well as the impact of such efforts upon communities and citizens. This includes the ESRC-funded Anti-terrorism, Citizenship and Security (with Michael Lister), and the AHRC-funded British [Muslim] Values: Conflict or Convergence (with Lee Marsden and Eylem Atakav). Ongoing work on proscription (with Tim Legrand) explores the politics of listing specific terrorist organisations, while my first book, Times of Terror , explored how the George W. Bush administration constructed the then-unfolding 'war on terror' around specific and distinct conceptions of temporality. If you are interested in these topics, you might be interested in this article which focuses on the impact of counter-terrorism policy upon lived experiences for citizenship , or this piece on how politicians debate whether or not to blacklist terrorist groups .

2. Critical terrorism studies and critical security studies. My research makes conceptual and methodological contributions to the sub-fields in which I work, including through agenda-setting discussion on the parameters and commitments of critical security studies and critical terrorism studies  . I have published conceptual work around 'vernacular security studies'  , and 'stakeholder security', and am interested in applying and developing methods that are novel for fields like International Relations such as digital storytelling  and focus groups.   Recent work has explored the importance of numbers for critical terrorism studies  and critical security studies , and you may be interested in the published version of my recent inaugural lecture , which offered a new heuristic of critical strategies for those dissatisfied with the politics of counter-terrorism.

3. Social constructions and memories of terrorism. My work also explores how 'terrorism' is constructed, situated and remembered across different social and cultural sites. Here I have worked on texts as diverse as memorial webpages established to commemorate victims of terrorism, military videogames, news media coverage, political rhetoric, and - most recently - obituaries of dead 'terrorists'  . My focus here tends to be on how these texts and practices constitute or frame their subjects in specific ways, for instance through constructions of masculinity  . You might be interested in my co-authored book, Terrorism: A Critical Introduction which explores some of these dynamics, or this article on memory in the aftermath of Osama bin Laden's killing.

4. Cybersecurity. I also work on issues around cybersecurity, and especially cyberterrorism, focusing specifically on questions of definition  threat   and response. Much of this work is interdisciplinary in scope, bringing in colleagues from Law, Engineering, Computer Science, Criminology, and beyond - and emerges out of the Cyberterrorism Project I co-founded with Stuart Macdaond and Tom Chen. If you have interests in cybersecurity, you might be interested in this article on competing understanding of cyberterrorism  .

 

As the above suggests, my research is often collaborative and frequently interdisciplinary in nature. You can find citation information for my work via google scholar .
