Mark Dawson has taught at the Australian National University, Canberra, since 2005. He studies early modern Britain and the Anglo–Atlantic world, focusing on social inequality, the body and health, and seventeenth-century drama and literature. In 2019 he published Bodies Complexioned: Human Variation and Racism in Early Modern English Culture, c. 1600-1750 (Manchester University Press) , a rich and original study of the role of humoralism in the development of early modern English racial thought.
