Warren Dockter is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and recently gained his PhD at the University of Nottingham in 2012. His research interest lies in British Imperialism in the Middle East during the late nineteenth and twentieth century, encapsulating orientalism and trans-national historical approaches. His first monograph, Winston Churchill and the Islamic World: Orientalism, Empire and Diplomacy in the Middle East, places Churchill in the context of colonial discourse and reveals the extent to which orientalism influenced his opinions and policies regarding the Islamic world. At Churchill he will be undertaking archival research for a co-edited collection of essays on the role of the Private Secretary to the Prime Minister with respect to foreign affairs.
