Michael Broers is an Emeritus Professor of Western European History at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford. His primary research interests focus on Italian and French history during the 18th and 19th centuries, with a particular emphasis on the Napoleonic period. He explores the application of theories of cultural imperialism within European contexts, especially during the Revolutionary-Napoleonic era, examining the interplay between regionalism, popular Catholicism, and modern state-building.

He is also actively involved in teaching a range of courses related to French Revolution and Empire, nationalism in 19th century Europe, and approaches to history through different lenses such as Tocqueville, anthropology, sociology, and global history.
