Contributions to this Research
My research is mainly in the fields of folklore/folklife and cultural history. Concentration is on Australia but the international dimensions of much folklore involves a comparative dimension. Thus, as well as looking particularly at such topics as the cultural processes of mythmaking in relation to, say Ned Kelly, there is also a global tradition of outlaw heroes to which Kelly's mythology relates and on which I have also contributed a monograph. I am also involved in regional research through the Peel Regional Research Strategy.
