I have had some wonderful opportunities in my professional life and have been very lucky to have worked with some wonderful scholars who have made my academic career extremely rewarding and great fun! Jane and I enjoy a fantastic working relationship which is enhanced by the fact that we are also great friends. We are currently working on our third book together (along with a number of other projects) and are very much driven by our desire to make research accessible to everyone. Please do feel free to contact me at m.birks@cqu.edu.au if you have any questions or comments about my work.
