About
Evan Smith recently completed his PhD on the Communist Party of Great Britain and anti-racist politics in the post-war period in the Department of History at Flinders University. He is currently undertaking research on British immigration control and the processing of migrant women with Dr Marinella Marmo from the School of Law at Flinders. He has published widely on British leftist politics, anti-racism in Britain and the British immigration control system.
His research with Dr Marmo on 'virginity testing' has been mentioned in The Guardian, The Independent (UK), the Daily Telegraph, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Times of India, the New Zealand Herald and other newspapers worldwide.

For 2009-2010, Evan was a Fellow with the Australian Prime Ministers Centre at Old Parliament House and the Museum of Australian Democracy in Canberra. His research project has been looking at how the Australian Government has viewed and reacted to protest in Canberra since the 1970s.
In October 2011 he was awarded the inaugural David Phillips Travelling Fellowship by the Australian Academy of the Humanities. This will help fund a research trip to the UK in July 2012, for a research project on the intersection between national and border security in Britain in the 1970s.
