Margaret Allen is interested in transnational, postcolonial and feminist histories and whiteness. Her ARC funded research (2004-6) focussed upon relationships between India and Australia and Indians and Australians in the late 19th and early twentieth centuries. She is working on Australian women missionaries in India as well as exploring the ways Indian men domiciled in Australia negotiated the White Australia Policy. Gender and notions of difference are central in her work.
