Neal Shasore is an architectural historian of twentieth century Britain. Trained as an art historian at the University of Oxford, he subsequently held positions at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the University of Westminster, and the University of Liverpool, where he held a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship. After lecturing at the University of Oxford, he became Head of School at the London School of Architecture (LSA) in June 2021. A former Honorary Secretary of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain (SAHGB), he is a Trustee of the Twentieth Century (C20) Society and the Architectural Heritage Fund.

Neal Shasore weaves an intriguing and beguiling narrative through a period that I suspect few current architecture students will ever have received more than a single lecture on.
