Roham Alvandi

Dr Roham Alvandi is Associate Professor of International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is the author of Nixon, Kissinger, and the Shah: The United States and Iran in the Cold War (Oxford University Press, 2014), which was selected by the Financial Times as one of the best history books of 2014. 

Most recently he is the editor of The Age of Aryamehr: Late Pahlavi Iran and its Global Entanglements (Gingko Library, 2018). He has written extensively on both Iran’s modern history and the history of U.S. foreign relations. His current research focuses on human rights activism in Europe and the United States and the origins of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. His work has appeared in the British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, Cold War History, Diplomatic History, and Iranian Studies.

Dr Alvandi read for his MPhil and DPhil degrees at the University of Oxford and his doctoral thesis was awarded the Foundation for Iranian Studies’ Dissertation Prize and the University of Oxford’s Pavry Memorial Prize. He is also a graduate of the University of Sydney, where he received the University Medal, and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Before joining the LSE, he worked on the strategic planning staff in the office of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. 

He has held visiting appointments at the University of Tehran and Columbia University, and is a Fellow of the British Institute of Persian Studies and the Royal Historical Society. At the LSE, he is an affiliate of both the Phalen United States Centre and the Middle East Centre.

Dr Alvandi teaches courses at the LSE on both the history of modern Iran, as well as the history of the ‘United States in the World’. He welcomes applications from potential PhD students in both fields. He has been awarded both an LSE Excellence in Education Award in 2018 and an LSE Excellence in Education Promotion Prize in 2015.
