Heading 3

Those are the topics of interest I lectured on in the last ten years.

My official field of expertise is in the History of International Relations in the 19th and 20th centuries , with a particular emphasis on conflicts including ; espionage and propaganda.

 

That being said as an Historian I have also embraced other periods in History such as the late 18th Century.

My passion for Marie-Antoinette is well known. The last Queen of France has been much maligned over time, although her role has been reassessed in recent years. I feel it is important to help audiences understand the true Marie-Antoinette and to dispel those pre-conceived notions we keep reading about.
