Dr Wayne Bradshaw - Research Portfolio

JCU > Research Portfolio > Dr Wayne Bradshaw

About

Dr Wayne Bradshaw is Research Services Officer at the Eddie Koiki Mabo Library in Townsville. In this role he works closely with researchers from across JCU on a range of topics including publication strategies, open access publishing, research output classification, and use of JCU's online institutional repository, ResearchOnline@JCU. In addition to his role in the library, Wayne is an Adjunct Research Associate and active researcher in the College of Arts, Society and Education, with degrees in both English and Politics.

Wayne's primary research focus is the historical influence of radical political philosophy on trends in literature, and his first book, The Ego Made Manifest: Max Stirner, Egoism, and the Modern Manifesto, was published by Bloomsbury in 2023. This is the first study to examine Max Stirner's contribution to the development of artistic and political manifestos in the early twentieth century, and has been described by Emeritus Professor John Carroll as "a masterpiece in the history of ideas."

Currently, Wayne is working on multiple research projects examining the Angry Penguins literary group in Adelaide in the 1940s; the intellectual heritage of anarchism in northern Queensland; and the role of the Antipodean poet and radical, Arthur Desmond, in popularising egoistic nationalism internationally in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
