He began his writing and research career as a literary historian, with a {{PhD }} on Australian literature and politics in the 1930s1960s, but his interests have broadened since then to include many topics in cultural, social and medical history, as well as ethics and current affairs. His major published work so far has been a detailed account of the rise and fall of routine non-therapeutic "health" [[circumcision ]] in [[United Kingdom| Britain ]] ([[A surgical temptationSurgical Temptation]], 2005), and since then he has written widely on medical, historical and ethical aspects of both male and female circumcision - which he regard as primarily a [[human rights ]] and social justice issue, not really a medical issue at all. He is also author of "[[The sorcererSorcerer's apprenticeApprentice]]: Why can't the [[United States ]] stop circumcising boys?"His writings fully qualify him to hold the title of [[Intactivist]].
