Stephanie James

Dr Stephanie James holds an adjunct position within the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia. Following years of History teaching at secondary and tertiary level, in 2005 she embarked on a Masters which focused on colonial South Australia's largest minority group - the Irish. From 2010 to 2013, her PhD examined Irish Australian attitudes toward the British Empire at times of imperial crisis. Subsequent research and publications have explored further aspects related to Australia's Irish during World War One as well as issues impacting on Irish South Australians at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. One of the organisers of the 2019 ISAANZ conference in Adelaide, she was also an editor of Irish South Australia: New histories and insights (2019). In 2020, Stephanie contributed an item on 'The Irish' for the 2024 edition of The Wakefield Companion to South Australian History.
