Professor Chris Hill specialises in environmental history, imperial history and the history of science and technology. His recent research, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), has explored the multifaceted role of imperialism across the cycle of nuclear development in Britain, from uranium extraction in Namibia and South Africa to nuclear weapons tests in Australia and the Pacific. Chris was Principal Investigator for the Office for Veterans’ Affairs project: An Oral History of British Nuclear Test Veterans. His next book, Radiant Empire: Namibian Uranium and Nuclear Britain, is contracted to Stanford University Press.
