Alex Windscheffel

Dr. Alex Windscheffel serves as a Senior Lecturer in Modern British History within the Department of History at Royal Holloway, University of London. His academic work bridges political and cultural history across modern Britain from the early 19th century to contemporary periods, with significant teaching contributions at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels including specialized modules on Victorian studies and Margaret Thatcher's era.

Dr. Windscheffel's research program centers on critical intersections of power and society:

• Victorian London Conservatism, examining the Conservative Party's historical dominance in urban politics
• 19th Century Bankruptcy systems analyzed through frameworks of morality, masculinity, and economic risk
• Thatcher-era Conservatism with focus on Eastern European policy and cultural dimensions of the 1970s-1980s
• Female suffrage movements within broader Modern British Political development

As an established doctoral supervisor, he has successfully guided multiple PhD candidates in modern British history topics while actively recruiting new students for emerging research areas including Thatcher government archives and Victorian socio-legal studies. His academic work operates within Royal Holloway's Department of History, leveraging the institution's strengths in humanities research and University of London resources.
