Graduate Student, History
About
Stephen Wertheim is a doctoral candidate in international history at Columbia University. He studies international politics, particularly the history of international society — and the role of the United States therein — in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with special attention to ideas and ideology. Among his thematic interests are U.S. foreign relations, trans-Atlantic internationalist ideas and movements, international law, international political thought, humanitarianism and human rights, global north-south relations, and causation in historical analysis.
Stephen received an MPhil from Columbia University (2011) and a BA summa cum laude from Harvard University (2007), where he served as managing editor of the Harvard International Review. A Jacob K. Javits Fellowship supports his doctoral studies.
Stephen is rapporteur of the Columbia University Seminar on Twentieth-Century Politics and Society and has helped to organize Columbia's Center for International History.
In his spare time, Stephen thinks up comedy ideas, talks about them, and fails to carry them out.
