He is Professor of Modern History at the University of Sydney.[1] Between 2011 and 2015, he was detached to the European University Institute as professor of Global and Colonial History.[2] He is widely regarded as a leading expert on the history of genocide and ethnic cleansing, and on the history of colonialism, especially genocide in colonial contexts.
