Senior Researcher, The Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure (CAMPOP)

Dr Litvine is a European born in Paris from a Belgian father of Russian descent and a French mother born in Warsaw but raised in Japan, and has now become British (yet probably not English, as was once predicted by Prof Tim Blanning). Before moving to Cambridge, he has lived in France, Italy, and Argentina. He got his first degrees in sociology and philosophy before specialising in history as a graduate student at the Ecole Normale Supérieure LSH and Sciences-Po in Paris. He was incredibly lucky to come next to Cambridge to do an MPhil (with Prof Peter Mandler) and, later, a PhD (with Prof Martin Daunton). He was subsequently awarded a four-year research fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge. He has since then held several teaching positions at Cambridge and Birkbeck, as University lecturer and College lecturer, first at Gonville and Caius College and now Pembroke College.
