Professor Matt Fitzpatrick

Professor Fitzpatrick specialises in international history, in particular German and European history, as well as the history of European imperialism, German liberalism and nationalism. He is also interested in the comparative history of empires, and intellectual history. His most recent monograph is Purging the Empire: Mass Expulsions in Germany, 1871-1914.

My research focuses on comparative imperialism, German history, culture and politics, European history, the history of 'Great Power' involvement in the Middle East, genocide studies, and the history of ideas. My most recent monograph, published with Oxford University Press, is Purging the Empire: Mass Expulsions in Germany, 1871-1914.
