Andrew Thompson

Professor of Global and Imperial History and a Professional fellow at Nuffield College. I am also the co-chair of the Global and Imperial History Centre. My research interests span global histories of humanitarianism, human rights and development; the history of modern globalisation and the relationship between globalisation and empire; the effects of empire on British private and public life during the ninetieth and twentieth centuries; histories of migration and mobility (especially postcolonial migrations to Britain and France); and the history of colonial and apartheid South Africa.
