Ross is an historian with an interdisciplinary bent, having also pursued interests, both within and around his academic work, in theatre, literature and theology. He teaches on modules that tend to cover social and cultural history, particularly of twentieth century Britain and the US.
Research Interests
Ross has several areas of interest in his research, with all of these eclectic themes being linked by a fascination with the foundation, formation, and perpetuation of individual and communal concepts of religious and national identity. These include:
- Theories and histories of theatre, acting teaching and directing in the twentieth century
- The history, application and theology of interfaith dialogue and religious pluralism
- Orthodox Christian history and theological anthropology
- Twentieth century popular culture and entertainment in Britain and the US
- The relationship between history and popular memory
Ross also has a great passion for teaching and pedagogy; as such, he is always looking for exciting and engaging ways of working in the classroom. He is currently attempting to bring his various academic interests together into a PhD.
