Having gained his PhD from the University of Liverpool in 2008 which focused on the development of English Freemasonry,〔List of thesis http://www.bshs.org.uk/theses/item/2857 (20 June 2011 )〕〔Liverpool Daily Post article dated 14 January 2009 http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-news/regional-news/2009/01/14/freemasons-origins-unearthed-by-liverpool-university-academic-64375-22688133/ (20 June 2011 )〕 the thesis was subsequently published in March 2009 entitled The Genesis of Freemasonry by Lewis Masonic, a UK-based publisher who specialise in Masonic works.〔http://www.equinoxjournals.com/JRFF/article/view/9660/pdf (20 June 2011 )〕 The work put forward the origins of Freemasonry and discussed its development throughout the eighteenth century, Harrison championing what has been termed the 'river theory'; Freemasonry originating from the Stonemason's Guilds in England, becoming influenced by an influx of different popular ideas throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries such as Alchemy, the search for the true dimensions of Solomon's Temple and Natural philosophy.〔http://portcullis.org.uk/recommended_reading.html (20 June 2011 )〕〔http://www.freemasons-freemasonry.com/review.html (20 June 2011 )〕
Harrison put forward that the French Huguenot and natural philosopher John Theophilus Desaguliers created the Masonic three degree system in the 1720s, being in part, influenced by the research of Sir Isaac Newton on the dimensions of Solomon's Temple.〔Article in Knight Templar Magazine http://issuu.com/gektusa/docs/0210/1 (20 June 2011 )〕 Harrison's work and style, though academic based, has become controversial and his first book has been criticised for not having the traditional layout of a PhD thesis, for his writing technique and for publication choice.〔Book review in Freemasonry Today http://www.freemasonrytoday.com/51/p19a.php (20 June 2011 )〕〔Book review in Equinox Journal, University of Sheffield http://www.equinoxjournals.com/JRFF/article/view/9660/pdf (20 June 2011 )〕 On the whole however, the work received positive reviews.〔Online book Review http://www.freemasons-freemasonry.com/review.html (20 June 2011 )〕〔Online book review The Square Magazine http://www.thesquaremagazine.com/news/?p=30 (20 June 2011 )〕〔Book review Knight Templar Magazine http://issuu.com/gektusa/docs/0210/1 (20 June 2011 )〕
His second book The Transformation of Freemasonry continues the historical analysis of English Freemasonry through the nineteenth century, looking at how the society fell out of fashion after the French Revolution and how it adapted to become a popular networking society as the Victorian era progressed.〔Online book review http://www.basilandspice.com/journal/22011-the-transformation-of-freemasonry.html (20 June 2011 )〕 Harrison has admitted to being a Freemason in a TV interview.〔Gardiner's World, Edge Media Productions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66nd7f7uZ5g (20 June 2011 )〕
