Poppy Cullen is a Lecturer in International History at Loughborough University since 2020. She holds a PhD from Durham University and previously served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Exeter on the AHRC-funded 'Afterlives of Empire' project. Prior to that, she taught at the University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on decolonization processes, British Empire dynamics, and post-colonial African political and economic structures.
Her work examines themes such as military decolonization in Kenya, transnational protest policing, and the socio-political impacts of decolonization on institutions like NGOs and business networks. Recent publications include analyses of British-Kenyan diplomatic relations post-independence, Cold War influences in East Africa, and the cultural legacies of empire.
Dr Cullen's research also addresses the intersection of race, migration, and postcolonial governance, with notable studies on settler communities in South Africa and Rhodesia. Her scholarship bridges historiography with contemporary global challenges, including pandemic responses in postcolonial contexts and the evolving narratives around empire's 'end.'
Her academic contributions span monographs, peer-reviewed articles, and funded research projects, reflecting a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches to understanding empire's enduring impacts on modern political systems and international relations.
