Research interests

My research interests centre on the interconnections between science, religion, race, politics and gender in the modern world, using New Zealand as the major site of study. I am currently working on three projects: humanitarian and Maori Christians and their critics in colonial New Zealand; Christian missions and knowledge-making from the early church to the twenty-first century; and religion, politics, race and gender in southern Dunedin 1880–1940s.

Other interests

John is a member of the New Zealand Historical Association, the Religious History Association, the History of Science Society, the Pacific Circle Commission of the International Union for the History and Philosophy of Science, the Royal Society Historical Branch and a board member of the Otago Theological Foundation.
