Pierre Purseigle
Professor, Namibia University of Science and Technology
Introduction
Purseigle’s research and teaching agenda have been driven by a strong commitment to the comparative and interdisciplinary study of warfare and urban catastrophes in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His work to date has mainly focused on the European and global history of the First World War and on the urban experience of modern warfare. From the local to the transnational, he endeavours to combine different scales of analysis and to engage with a range of disciplinary perspectives. He is the author of Mobilisation, Sacrifice et Citoyenneté. Des communautés locales face à la guerre moderne. Angleterre (2013) and Le Monde Britannique, 1815-1931 (2010).
