Biography

Houssine Alloul is an Assistant Professor of Modern Global History at the University of Amsterdam. He specializes in international history with a focus on Modern Europe and the Late Ottoman Empire. Currently, he is working on a monograph tentatively titled "Business Diplomacy: The Ottoman Empire and Belgium in the Age of Capital," which retraces the significant and often overlooked histories of interactions between the Kingdom of Belgium and the Ottoman Empire from the 1800s to 1923. His research pays particular attention to small power diplomacy and the global circulation of capital. Additionally, he is examining the roles of multireligious diplomats during the period from 1834 to 1914, investigating how they maintained social networks and integrated with local elites. Before joining the University of Amsterdam, he held positions as a FWO visiting fellow at Boğaziçi University and a Fulbright visiting scholar at Columbia University. Alloul obtained his PhD in History from the University of Antwerp and completed his undergraduate studies at the Università Ca' Foscari Venice.
