Professor Kristofer Allerfeldt

Both my degree and PhD are from Exeter. I work on American history in the last half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries. I have a particular interest in ethnicity, immigration, bigotry and criminality. I am currently researching the history of slavery since 1865 in the United States.

Both my undergraduate degree and PhD are from Exeter. I moved to Cornwall in 2007 and have taught here on various aspects of US history.

I am happy to supervise American history projects in the period from 1865-1941.

I am especially interested in taking on students working in the fields of the history of organised crime, the Ku Klux Klan, hate groups and international criminal fraternities.
