Julian Go is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago, previously holding faculty positions at Boston University, Harvard University (as an Academy Scholar), and the University of Illinois (as an Assistant Professor). He earned his PhD in Sociology from the University of Chicago in 2000. His research focuses on historical international relations, empires/colonialism, global field theory, and postcolonial thought, with a particular emphasis on the US empire, postcolonial theory, and global historical sociology.
Key research interests include the social logics of empires, postcolonial/decolonial thought, and transnational field theory. His work spans books such as *The American Colonial State in the Philippines: Global Perspectives* (2003), *American Empire and the Politics of Meaning* (2008), and *Patterns of Empire: the British and American Empires, 1688 to Present* (2011). He has also contributed to volumes like *Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory* (2016) and *Global Historical Sociology* (2017, co-edited with George Lawson).
His articles address themes such as racial capitalism, the global methodological relationalism approach, and the contraction of imperial power dynamics. Notable recent work includes a 2024 critique of racial capitalism theories and a 2020 analysis of transboundary entanglements in global historical sociology. Go’s research challenges traditional methodological nationalism and advocates for a relational, global approach to historical analysis.
