Katherine Sorrels is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Cincinnati, USA. Much of her work relates to the question of how political ideologies and scientific theories have been used to draw boundaries of exclusion and how marginalized thinkers and activists have reinterpreted those ideologies and theories to argue for a more inclusive form of international life.

“Cosmopolitan Outsiders adds significantly to recent work asserting the relevance of early twentieth-century plans for European unity to the story of post-1945 integration, brings German scholarship on Fried and Coudenhove-Kalergi to an Anglophone audience, and makes intelligent, nuanced, and persuasive arguments that Pan-Europe must be understood with reference to a specifically Austrian Jewish internationalism, and that colonialism lay at its heart. … ought to be required reading for historical and political geographers interested in these fields.” (Benjamin J. Thorpe, Journal of Historical Geography, July, 2017)
