Rupert Wallace lectures widely on history and world affairs following a career in international relations and defence, which saw him work throughout the Middle East and South Asia, including leading the team coordinating security for the holding of the Iraqi Constitutional Referendum of 2005. Specialising in the Middle East and the development and direction of US foreign policy, Rupert draws on both strong academic background and deep policy and operational experience to enable students to understand the key importance of the historical context and the deep cultural, political, religious and human currents of this highly complex, contested and fascinating region.
Rupert was appointed CBE in 2013 for his work abroad, and he holds a BA in History and a recent MSc in the Theory and History of International Relations from the London School of Economics. For four years he held the post of LSE History Course Director in their Schools Outreach Programme, encouraging and inspiring students from less traditional backgrounds to apply to the top universities. This will be his third year delivering courses at the University of Cambridge’s International Summer Programme.
