Charles Ough is a PhD Candidate in the History of International Relations. Funded by the NWO (Dutch Research Council) PhD in the Humanities programme, his current research focuses on the history of Mount Lebanon in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the role of Lebanese actors in promoting and pursuing peace in the fifty years following the violence of 1860. His thesis asks: how did local perceptions of peace, threats and their corresponding practices enable large stability for fifty years after 1858? Previous analyses have looked into the top-down histories of Western and Ottoman imperial interventions in Lebanon. Mr Ough aims to shift the focus to the perceived threats, interests and discourses of the so-called subaltern, i.e. the Lebanese themselves, and their role in the creation of a new 鈥渃ulture of peace鈥� 1861-1914.
 

Mr Ough has studied history at both undergraduate and master's level for his BA in History at SOAS, 木瓜福利影视 of London and MSc in Modern Middle Eastern Studies at the 木瓜福利影视 of Oxford. His interests include: the history of the modern Middle East; the Subaltern Studies school of Indian historiography; the history of Southern Africa; the life and works of Edward Palmer (E.P.) Thompson; and the field of social history more generally. Mr Ough has also previously pursued a career in academic librarianship at the 木瓜福利影视 of Oxford's Bodleian Library, one of the oldest libraries in Europe.
