Background

About Valentin Sandulescu

I have defended my PhD dissertation in the history of Romanian fascism at the Central European University (Budapest, Hungary) in 2011. My main academic interests cover the history and historiography of fascism and anti-Semitism, with an emphasis on the history of the Romanian Iron Guard in the interwar period, and also the history of the Jewish community in Romania. On a broader level, my academic interests focus on the political, social and cultural history of the interwar period in East-Central Europe and its post-communist reception. Since 2014 I am an Assistant Professor / Lecturer at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, University of Bucharest (Romania). Between January 2021 and December 2023, I was also a researcher for the project "Yiddish Culture in Greater Romania (1918-1940): in the Aftermath of the Empires and Challenged by the New National State" hosted by the New Europe College – Institute for Advanced Study, Bucharest. Between 2015 and 2018 I was a senior researcher for the project "Post-WWII Anti-Semitic Pogroms in East and East Central Europe: Collective Violence and Popular Culture" funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation (Germany). Also, between 2015 and 2017 I was a researcher for the project “Fragmented Modernities: Intellectual Elites and Historical Transformations in Contemporary Romania” hosted by the “Nicolae Iorga” Institute of History (Romanian Academy). I was a fellow at the Centre for Advanced Study in Sofia and the New Europe College (Institute for Advanced Study) in Bucharest. In May 2010 I have been a Junior Visiting Research Associate at the Modern European History Research Centre, Faculty of History, University of Oxford.
