Background
Dr. Daniel Gorman is an Associate Professor of History and Political Science at the University of Waterloo. Prior to his appointment at the University of Waterloo, he was an Assistant Professor of History at Trent University, and held a SSHRC Post-Doctoral Fellowship at York University. His is the author of Imperial Citizenship: Empire and the Question of Belonging (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2007.) His interests are in the history of international relations and the British Empire, international relations theory, and the UN and decolonization.
Dr. Gorman is currently working on two research projects, both concerning the role of ideas as agents of global change in the 20th century. The first is a study of the emergence of the "international community" in the interwar years, with a particular focus on the era's many experiments in international governance. These experiments reflected an emerging sense of global inter-connectivity, and anticipated modern conceptions of global governance. The second project assesses the role of the UN as a venue for debates over decolonization in the 1950s and 1960s.
