Biography

Mark Condos is a Senior Lecturer in Imperial Global History at King's College London and Co-Director of the Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War. His historical research focuses on the intersections of violence, race, and law in the context of the British and French Empires, with a particular emphasis on India and Algeria. Condos completed his BA (Hons.) and MA at Queen's University, Canada, and received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2013. Before joining King's College London in January 2020, he held a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellowship at Queen Mary, University of London from 2014 to 2017 and served as a Lecturer in Imperial Global History from 2017 to 2020. His research examines the relationship between militarism and violence in the context of colonial state-building, particularly within the Punjab and North-West Frontier of British India. He has extensively written about the phenomenon of 'fanaticism' in this region, exploring its colonial origins and its implications in contemporary discussions around terrorism. Currently, he is working on various projects concerning legal and extrajudicial violence within empires, specifically regarding how Indian revolutionaries navigated the complex legal landscapes of British and French colonial rule during the early 20th century.
