Zachary Mazur, PhD

I'm a native New Yorker, trained as a historian of eastern Europe at Yale University where I wrote a dissertation on the formation of interwar Poland through the lens of state finance.

I'm currently writing a book about radicalization and the growth of popular nationalism before the First World War.

Education

I received my BA from the City College of New York, CUNY and then entered the doctoral program at Yale University where I completed my MA, MPhil and PhD.

Employment

I am a Senior Historian at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN and a lecturer at the Polish Academy of Sciences Doctoral School Anthropos.

I've been a writer, translator, researcher, and teacher for the past ten years. Aside from various individual freelance projects, I've helped corporations work more efficiently, led marketing campaigns and managed teams.
