Supervisor: Paul Sedra

Research Description

My research examines how British Empire troop movements during the First World led to new cultural confrontations as previously unacquainted nationalities were forced to interact. In particular, I explore how Australasians and their conceptions of race affected British imperial rule in the Egyptian Protectorate.

Working Dissertation Title

British and Australian Encounters with Egyptians during the First Word War: A Comparative Analysis.
