"She has studied history, philosophy and education at Oxford University and the University of Tasmania, and has worked at the Universities of Washington, Seattle and at Macquarie, before her time at Monash.

"Professor Hughes-Warrington has global influence on historical thinking and teaching, with a significant research track record, including five books on university leadership, the nature of history, world history, and historical films.

"She will be a valuable addition to the University’s leadership team, and we look forward to welcoming her to campus next year.

"The appointment of Professor Hughes-Warrington is the first of three major appointments to the ANU Executive that will be made over coming months, including Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) and Pro Vice-Chancellor (International and Outreach)."
