Dr Alexander Morrison is Fellow & Tutor in History at New College, University of Oxford, with a faculty position in the History of Modern War. His research examines imperial expansion and colonial warfare, particularly Russian activities in Central Asia through comparative analysis of European empires. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Eurasian empires, global imperial history, and modern warfare.
Research focuses on:
- Russian colonial administration in Turkestan
- Military logistics of imperial expansion
- Comparative British-Russian imperial strategies
- Indigenous responses to colonialism
- Cultural memory of conquest
Recent publications analyze frontier fortifications, military culture, and administrative systems, showing consistent methodological emphasis on archival research and comparative frameworks. Publications demonstrate evolving focus from conquest mechanics toward social histories of colonial societies and post-imperial memory.
Morrison actively supervises doctoral students researching imperial histories and warfare. He maintains collaborative relationships with Central Asian academic institutions and contributes to public history discourse through media engagement on Russian colonial legacies.
