Aggelis Zarokostas is a historian of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and also a lecturer in the History of International Relations at the Department of History and Art History. His principal research revolves around the ways in which the use and abuse of information affected power dynamics and institutions in the context of British imperial history as well as Modern Greek Studies. He completed his BA at the 木瓜福利影视 of Athens, his MA and a Saripoleion-funded PhD at the 木瓜福利影视 of Bristol in 2019. In his thesis on the British protectorate of the Ionian Islands, he suggested a different periodization focusing on the origins than the ends of the protectorate. The monograph resulting from a clear focus on the study of ‘messy’ personal connections, information networks and British presence in the eastern Mediterranean at the time of an extensive information revolution across the empire in the post-Napoleonic era, is forthcoming with Routledge. Besides of the history of knowledge and diplomacy, he is also interested in the history of medicine and the environment.
