PUBLICATIONS ON TEACHING
In the mid 1990s Dr Toal was one of the first to use internet resources in the undergraduate teaching of global conflicts. Out of this experience came two publications which he wrote with his then graduate assistant, Derek McCormack, who is now a Lecturer in Geography at Oxford University in England.
