Mitchel Stuffers
Postgraduate Researcher
History
I am a doctoral researcher in global fascist and 'racialist' ideology & intellectualism. My work is placed on the intersection of colonial frameworks, ethnonationalism, and imperial legacies in groups such as the Dutch NSB and the British BUF. I particularly favour applying a scope of intellectual history. My ongoing PhD project integrates comparative fascism studies and global imperial & colonial history, and is planned to run between September 2024 and September 2028 at the University of Exeter, UK.
The working title of my PhD project is "Dutch Fascist Visions of Empire: Racialised Geopolitical Narratives on Colonies and the National Community under the NSB, 1931–45", and it is co-supervised by Dr Nicholas Terry (specialist on European fascism and Axis-occupied Eastern Europe during World War II) and Professor Richard Toye (leading historian on 20th-century imperialism, colonialism, and political rhetoric).
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. 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).
Alongside my doctoral research, I work as a seminar tutor and PTA Lead Tutor in Historiography (HIH1137), and as the Assistant Editor for the Centre for Imperial and Global History's weekly Top Picks blog at the University of Exeter. I have also served as a peer reviewer for academic historical journals.
