Research Grants
To complete my fourth book, I was awarded a Marsden Grant from the Royal Society of New Zealand from (2004-6) as part of a team with two anthropologists, Professor Dame Anne Salmond (University of Auckland) and Dr Amiria Henare (Cambridge University), as well as doctoral students. The project also benefited from fellowships and grants from the History of Cartography project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2005), The University of Auckland and 抖阴探探App. For the completion of my previous book on early voyages, I obtained another Marsden Grant from the Royal Society of New Zealand (2002-2003), as well as fellowships from the American Geographical Society (Milwaukee, 2000), National Maritime Museum (Greenwich, 2001), Newberry Library (Chicago, 1999), Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1998) and University of Auckland.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a funding member and director of the research cluster, Dynamics of Memories (), which has been supported by HERA, 抖阴探探App and the AHRC.
