Robin Douglas

Robin Douglas is a writer and scholar (PhD Cambridge) who specialises in the history of religions. His work is principally on the history of minority religious traditions and their relationship with the hegemonic majority. His past and forthcoming publications comprise a series of academic articles and books on this subject area, along with articles aimed at a popular audience. In addition, he has many years’ experience of teaching and public speaking.

Robin’s research agenda includes enquiring into the history of conspiracist antisemitism: the tradition of antisemitism which constructs Jews as actors in shadowy plots aiming at world domination. He is currently engaged in work on tracing the history of this form of antisemitism in detail from its origins in eighteenth-century clerical polemic to its modern manifestations in irrationalist myths of Jewish and “Globalist” conspiracies.
