Fabian Hilfrich is a Senior Lecturer in US History at the University of Edinburgh, affiliated with the Department of History. His academic work centers on the intersections of national identity and foreign policy in American history.
His research primarily investigates how ideas of American exceptionalism have shaped US foreign relations, particularly during periods of imperial expansion around 1900 and the contentious era of the Vietnam War. He explores the ideological underpinnings of US foreign policy and the ways in which national self-perception influences international engagement.
The thematic focus of his publications reveals a strong interest in historical discourse, public debate, and the construction of national myths. His works analyze how political and cultural narratives are formed and sustained over time, particularly in moments of international crisis.
Dr. Hilfrich has contributed significantly to the understanding of transatlantic relations during the Cold War and continues to publish on the long-term legacies of American foreign policy debates.
