Robert Barnes

I studied for my undergraduate and Master's degrees in History at the University of Manchester. I then completed my PhD in International History and Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education at the London School of Economics and Political Science. My thesis was titled: The (UN)Equal Alliance: The United States, the Commonwealth, the United Nations and the Korean War, 1950 to 1954.

I was the Master's Programmes Senior Tutor in the Department of International History at the LSE before joining York St John University as a Lecturer in History in 2013.

I am currently the Course Lead for History in the School of Humanities. I also currently supervise numerous doctoral students and am happy to consider further applications on topics relating to my research interests, especially in the following areas:

The Korean War
The Cold War
British Decolonisation and the Commonwealth
The United Nations
Modern East Asian International History
