A Modern European historian

By training

Study the EU in all its mind-numbing

And complicated glory

In the past, worked mainly on

Identity formation and nationalism

But current focus is on what I call

The Ghost State

A Spatial history of the EU

Have gone whole hog

Into the digital turn

With my teaching and research recently

So need another THATCamp fix

An avid gamer of all kinds

Lately lots of console games

Started writing for Ethan Watrall's

Play the Past website

Because I don't have enough to do

Spend too much time recreating

Car chases

From BULLITT or THE ROAD WARRIOR

While commuting to work

But what can you do?
