  • This delegate is presenting an abstract at this event.
I am an ECR in Australian economic and business history at the University of Wollongong, and a visiting fellow in the University of Sydney's Laureate Research Program in International History. I am interested in the ways that interpersonal connections affect knowledge, markets, and business strategy. My research focusses on the development of knowledge Australian economic history, the global wool trade, interlocking directorates, and multinational enterprise. I adopt a variety of methodologies to understand historical phenomena, including social network analysis, geographic information systems, oral history, prosopography, and archival research. I am responsible for book reviews in economic and business history for the NEP-HIST blog (nephist.wordpress.com/book-reviews), and tweet @hereorclaire.
