Biography

Professor Marc David Baer specializes in International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He obtained his PhD in History from the University of Chicago in 2001 and has authored six major books, including 'Honored Glory Islam: Conversion and Conquest in Ottoman Europe' and 'German, Jew, Muslim, Gay: The Life of Hugo Marcus.' His work primarily explores themes such as the complexities of Muslim-Jewish relations, the socio-political dynamics of the Ottoman Empire, and the intersection of sexuality, faith, and cultural identity in historical contexts. He is recognized for his contributions to understanding the multifaceted histories of religious and ethnic communities in Europe and the Middle East, particularly in the early modern and modern eras. His insights bridge gaps between academic disciplines, and he actively supervises PhD students while engaging in public lectures and discussions worldwide.
