Dr John Paul Newman
Biography
Dr John Paul Newman is Associate Professor in Twentieth-century European History. He is interested in the modern history of the Southeastern and East-Central Europe, with a particular focus on Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and Macedonia. His first book, Yugoslavia in the Shadow of War: Veterans and the Limits of State-Building, 1903-1945, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2015. He is currently working on a study of the birth, life, and afterlife of the Illyrian movement in the South Slav lands, provisionally titled 'Illyria Unbound: Reflections on Nation and Identity in Modern Central Europe' (under contract with Oxford University Press).
Research Interests
I am interested in the modern history of the Balkans and East-Central Europe, with a particular focus on Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia. I welcome proposals from potential research students in any of these or related areas.
