Timothy Verhoeven is an Associate Professor of History at Monash University, specializing in the histories of anti-Catholicism, anticlericalism, Church-State relations, and secularism in the nineteenth century. His research also delves into the history of masculinity, particularly focusing on bodies and sexuality. Verhoeven published three books, with one of his notable works being 'Sexual Crime, Religion and Masculinity in Fin-de-Siècle France: The Flamidien Affair,' which based on untapped archival records explores the clash between republicans and Catholics in 1899, centering on a Catholic brother accused of murdering a school student. Another significant publication is 'Secularists, Religion, and Government in Nineteenth-Century America,' which examines the mass petitions to Congress and the controversies surrounding Church-State relations, arguing that secularism was a vital force for flourishing in nineteenth-century America. In his teaching, Verhoeven covers modern European and United States history and is actively involved in supervising postgraduate students in related fields.
