Dr Christine Wright is an historian, who is particularly interested in Australian social history and 19th century British history.
She has been a visiting fellow in the School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University in Canberra. In 2007 she was the course convenor and lecturer for a later-year undergraduate course in the history of urban Australia.
In 2005 Christine completed her PhD at the Australian National University. She studied the impact of a group of British army officers – veterans of the Peninsular War fought on the Iberian Peninsula between 1808-1814 – on the Australian colonies.
Christine lives in the New South Wales town of Braidwood, where she is President of the Braidwood Historical Society and Museum. Braidwood is listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register, the only entire town on the east coast of Australia to be so listed, and Christine played a leading role in the listing process.
