David Stenner

About the Author

David Stenner is a historian and scholar of modern Middle Eastern and North African studies, with a particular focus on Morocco's role in global networks of activism and migration. His research explores the intersections of transnational movements, postcolonial politics, and state formation, drawing on archival sources from Europe, North Africa, and the United States to illuminate overlooked histories of solidarity and resistance. Stenner's work challenges conventional narratives of the postcolonial world by highlighting the agency of diasporic communities in shaping international relations during the Cold War era. A dedicated educator, he teaches courses on global history and decolonization at leading universities, inspiring students to engage with the complexities of power and identity in the modern world. Through his incisive analysis, Stenner bridges academic scholarship with broader conversations on migration and human rights.
