Il obtint une maîtrise d'histoire à l'Université Victoria de Wellington, puis un doctorat à l'Université d'Oxford, au Royaume-Uni. Il enseigna l'histoire à l'Université Victoria, puis à l'Université d'Auckland, où il enseigne actuellement. Ses centres de recherche sont « les réponses des populations autochtones à l’expansion européenne, les modèles de colonisation européenne, et l’histoire ethnique, culturelle et sociale de la Nouvelle-Zélande »[2].

Son livre The Victorian Interpretation of Racial Conflict[3] fut adapté en série télévisée[4].

Il fut décoré du New Zealand Order of Merit en 2006 pour services rendus à la recherche historique.
