Kent Fedorowich is a specialist in Anglo-dominion relations, and, until September 2021, was Reader in British Imperial and Commonwealth history at the University of the West of England (Bristol). His areas of expertise and interest include the prisoner of war experience, empire migration and the British World. He has published widely on these subjects in learned journals and scholarly collections of essays. Among his publications are (with Bob Moore) The British Empire and its Italian Prisoners of War, 1940-1947 (Palgrave/Macmillan, 2002); edited with Andrew S. Thompson, Empire, migration and identity in the British World (Manchester University Press, 2013); and edited with Jayne Gifford, Sir Earle Page’s British War Cabinet Diary, 1941-1942 (Cambridge University Press, 2021).

In September 2020, he was appointed as a Research Fellow in the Department of Military History, School for Security and Africa, Faculty of Military Science, at Stellenbosch University (South Africa). The following September he was appointed to the University of Bristol as a Senior Research Fellow.

His current project, which stems from a recently published essay about Bristolians who fought in the Dominion armies (1914-1918), and appeared in Douglas E. Delaney, Mark Frost and Andrew L. Brown (eds), Manpower and the Armies of the British Empire in Two World Wars (Cornell UP, 2021), explores the wartime experiences and identities of members of these dominion contingents who wrote home about ‘mother’ between 1914 and 1919.
