Background

Associate Professor Martin Crotty’s research interests include war and Australian society, sports history, masculinity, and education.

Associate Professor Martin Crotty studied in New Zealand before moving to Australia to undertake postgraduate studies at Monash University and the University of Melbourne. After four years of teaching History at the University of Newcastle in NSW, he took up his current position teaching History at the University of Queensland in early 2003. He has since served as the Deputy Dean of the Graduate School and as the Head of School for the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry from mid-2013 to mid-2017, and in a variety of other administrative roles.

Martin's major publications include Making the Australian Male: Middle-Class Masculinity, 1870-1920 (1901) and a variety of journal articles, book chapters and edited collections, including The Great Mistakes of Australian History (2006), Turning Points in Australian History (2008) and Anzac Legacies: Australians and the Aftermath of War (2010) and The Politics of Veteran Benefits in the Twentieth Century (2020). He has supervised widely, and has seen some twenty M.Phil and PhD students through to completion.

Martin has served on the executive of the Australian Historical Association for the last six years and convened the 2014 AHA conference at the University of Queensland in 2014. He currently co-edits Australian Historical Studies.
