Erez Manela

I work on the history of the United States in the world and on modern international history. Regionally, I have focused on US interactions with Asia and the Middle East. Thematically, my interests include the evolution of international society and international orders; colonialism, nationalism, and decolonization; modernization and development; the roles of international organizations; and the history of global health. I also have a keen interest in conceptual and methodological aspects of writing international history.

I offer regular lecture courses on the history of the U.S. in the world as well as a range of undergraduate and graduate seminars in my fields of interest. In supervising senior theses and doctoral dissertations I am especially interested in working with students who adopt fresh approaches to the history of U.S. foreign relations and international affairs, looking at hitherto neglected actors, themes, topics, regions, or connections.
