Dr Cox's principal research and teaching areas are U.S. political history and foreign policy, globalization and nationalism, and the politics of emotions. Having completed a PhD that examined the relationship between accelerating globalization and intensified ethno-national conflict, he has since published articles on nationalism, globalization, U.S. foreign policy, comparative political-economic restructuring in Australia and New Zealand, and revenge in international politics. His latest research project explores the emotional politics of vindictive, white nationalism in US politics, about which he is presently writing a book. These interests are canvassed in the units that he teaches on US domestic politics and foreign relations. Dr Cox is interested in supervising post-graduate students working on aspects of US and/or Australian politics, globalization and nationalism, the politics of emotions and political theory (especially around socialist thought and citizenship).
