Henry Clements

Henry Clements is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Warwick.

Henry Clements's work spans postcolonial theory, secularism and religion in modernity, psychoanalysis, and the intellectual history of the Middle East. He has published in Comparative Studies in Society and History, History of the Present, and the International Journal of Middle East Studies and is currently at work on his first book, which will be his focus as a Koch History Centre Fellow. Tentatively entitled The Difference of History: ‘Millet’-Making in the Late Ottoman Empire, the book shows how the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire was transformed by a new logic of political organization rooted in the supposition that human differences were the product of something called “history.”
