Fabian Krautwald is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) of African History at University College London. He works and teaches on the social, political, cultural, economic, and intellectual history of Africa from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. He is especially interested in comparative and transnational histories, which he explores in Tanzania and Namibia based on vernaculars such as Swahili and Otjiherero. He is currently preparing his first book, which examines the ways in which eastern and southern Africans remembered German colonial rule after its end in the First World War, for publication. Before joining UCL, he held postdoctoral fellowships at Binghamton University in upstate New York and at Princeton University, where he also completed his PhD.
