Mitchel Stuffers

Current PhD Researcher in (Modern) History at the University of Exeter, United Kingdom.

My interests and area of expertise primarily blend: Holocaust & Genocide studies, imperial and colonial studies, 
memory & heritage, propaganda studies, intellectual history, and comparative fascist studies.

The working title of my project is “Dietschland and Germanje: The Racialist Narratives on Colonies and Communities Under Dutch Fascism, Before and During World War Two”, and it is supervised by Dr Nicholas Terry and Professor Richard Toye.

Beyond these specific ongoing fields of research, my interests span various disciplines and expand into the following fields: Interethnic relations, studies of comparative violence, justice and reconciliation, history, political science, social and cultural anthropology, psychology, sociology, peace & conflict studies, the history of ideas, and international law. My interdisciplinary background as a historian, political scientist, and social scientist is highlighted by my successful studies in Uppsala University's 2-year MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Sweden.

My prior work experience includes teaching, researching, editing, social media management, and long interview transcription, in addition to other roles and tasks held. Past employers include the NIOD: Dutch Institute for War-, Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam, Uppsala University, and the Uppsala Student Union, among others. Before my work in Higher Education and respective centres of research, I gained experience at various schools as a qualified Teaching Assistant.

I am also a member of the Royal Historical Society (RHS).
