About Roberto Mazza

I am currently a visiting professor at Northwestern University with seventeen years of academic experience (researching, publishing, teaching and supervising). I mostly work on the history of the modern Middle East with a specialization on Palestine - I have developed a successful podcast Jerusalem Unplugged dedicated to the history and politics of the city. I recently developed courses on the global history of conspiracy theories and I am interested in developing a podcast dedicated to this topic. I am the current executive editor of the Jerusalem Quarterly and I am very much involved in peer-reviewing articles and manuscripts for other journals and publishers. In relation to my interest in podcasting, I believe this is a form of connecting academia to the wider world and attract the general audience to more complex historical debates.
