Aristotle Kallis
I am Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Keele University, School of Humanities. I moved to Keele University in 2016, after 13 years at Lancaster University (Department of European Languages and Cultures and from 2010 Department of History). I have previously taught at the Universities of Edinburgh and Bristol.
My research has taken me from the comparative history of interwar fascism (focused initially on Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany) to the transnational history of fascism, the contemporary radical right (and its relation with the so-called 'mainstream'), the history of mass violence, and more recently urban history (especially the history of 20th-century Rome), Fascist cultural politics, architectural modernism, and public housing.
I am currently working on as project that analyses the public housing initiatives in 1920s Rome, carried out by the Institute of Popular Housing (ICP).
In January 2019 I start work on a Leverhulme-funded project that examines the global history of the 'minimum dwelling' (and in particular the concept of Existenzminimum, as defined in CIAM's second conference in Frankfurt in 1929) from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Books by Aristotle Kallis
Fascist Ideology provides a comparative investigation of fascist expansionism by focusing on the close relations between ideology and action under Mussolini and Hitler. With an overview of the ideological motivations behind fascist expansionism and their impact on fascist policies, this book explores the two main issues which have dominated the historiographical debates on the nature of fascist expansionism: whether Italy's and Germany's particular expansionist tendancies can be attributed to a set of generic fascist values, or were shaped by the long term, uniquely national ambitions and developments since unification; whether the pursuit of expansion was opportunistic or followed a grand design in each case
Exploring fascism in all its diverse manifestations, this book discusses the classic examples of National Socialism in Germany and Fascism in Italy, as well as a series of less familiar movements and regimes, including the Iron Guard in Romania, the British Union of Fascists, Salazar's dictatorship in Portugal and Franco's regime in Spain. The Fascism Reader explores all the key aspects of fascism including:
the essence and limitations of generic fascism
the intellectual and ideological dimensions of fascism
regimes of fascism as particular models of the exercise of power
fascism and society - from anti-Semitism to fascist attitudes to women.
A must for all students of European history, sociology and politics.
