Dr Lorna Waddington

Profile

I gained a First Class honours degree in History followed by an MA in Modern History (distinction) at the University of Leeds. I also undertook my doctoral thesis Confronting the 'conspiracy': Ideology, Diplomacy and Propaganda in Hitler's Crusade Against International Bolshevism, 1919-1943 at Leeds. I worked as a lecturer at the University of Sheffield for two years and then joined the School of History in Leeds in 2005. I have been a fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2010.

I am available to the media for comment on issues relating to Nazi Germany and the British reaction to ethnic cleansing and genocide in the twentieth century.
