Biography

Jeff Bowersox earned his undergraduate degree from Georgetown College in Kentucky and a master's degree in history from the University of Cincinnati before completing a PhD at the University of Toronto in 2008. His dissertation, supervised by Prof. Modris Eksteins, examined the German colonial imagination and youth culture during the Imperial era. In 2013, his research was published by Oxford University Press under the title 'Raising Germans of the Age of Empire: Youth and Colonial Culture, 1871-1914'. His research interests generally focus on the histories of ideas and experiences of Blackness in German-speaking lands, particularly the histories of Black performance on European popular stages during the jazz age. Before joining University College London in 2014, he taught for four years at the University of Southern Mississippi and held a research fellowship at King's College London as well as a lectureship at the University of Worcester.
