Personal History
After living in Paris for several years, Tim Verhoeven came back to Melbourne and completed his PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2007. He is an expert in modern American and European history, as well as approaches which explore the historical connections between nation-states.
He also has a strong interest in the history of gender and sexuality.
He has taught units dedicated to the history of sexuality, and the history of the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Current Research
He currently has two major research projects. The first is a study of the cultural exchanges between France and the United States in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. The second is an investigation of the history of Church-State relations in nineteenth-century America.
