Duncan Bell is Professor of Political Thought and International Relations in POLIS and a Fellow of Christ’s College.
He received his B.A. in War Studies from King’s College London and my M.Phil (International Relations) and PhD (History, 2004) from Cambridge. Since then, he has spent his career working at Cambridge.
His research and teaching stand at the intersection of political theory, intellectual history, and International Relations. Over the last couple of decades he has focused principally on tracing ideas about empire – and in particular settler colonialism – in the history of modern British political thought. He has written three books on the subject, as well as assorted articles and book chapters.
