معرفی
Kent Fedorowich is a Reader in British Imperial History and Associate Head of Department for Research and Scholarship in the Department of Creative and Cultural Industries (ACE) at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol). His academic work centers on comparative British Imperial and Commonwealth history, with a particular emphasis on Anglo-dominion relations, empire migration, and 20th-century military history.
His research spans several interconnected themes: the resettlement of British ex-servicemen in the dominions during the interwar period, the broader peopling of the British World, POW and civilian internment during wartime, and Anglo-Canadian relations in the 20th century. He brings a unique personal and scholarly perspective as a Canadian who has lived in the UK for over three decades.
Fedorowich co-edited the influential volume Empire, Migration and Identity in the British World (2013) with Andrew S. Thompson. He was a principal investigator in the BBC and AHRC-funded 'World War One at Home' project, leading a regional initiative in South West England that generated 100 historical narratives and served as a national model. Though specific publications are not listed due to technical limitations, his research output is consistent with major themes in imperial and military history.
He has taught extensively on subjects including British Imperial and Commonwealth History, Modern South Africa, The British World, and Twentieth Century Military History.
His academic journey began with a BA (Hons) and MA in History from the University of Saskatchewan, followed by a PhD from the London School of Economics (1983–1991).
Fedorowich has held leadership roles in research administration and public history engagement. His work bridges academic scholarship with public outreach, particularly through media collaborations with the BBC. There is no indication of part-time status, retirement, or emeritus designation; he remains an active faculty member.
