Jakub Drábik, Ph.D.

Jakub Drábik is an Assistant Professor at Anglo-American University in Prague and a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. He earned his doctorate at Charles University in 2014 and has held research fellowships at Oxford Brookes University, Wrocław University, Central European University, and the University of Vienna. His research centres on comparative fascism studies, with particular focus on British and Czech fascism, while his teaching spans a wide spectrum of world history. He is the author of several books, edited volumes, and numerous scholarly articles. He is also interested in what artificial intelligence can do for historians as a research tool, but with a healthy dose of scepticism. In his academic work he places strong emphasis on fairness, respect, and critical dialogue. He believes a classroom works best when everyone in it feels they belong, and he encourages students to question their assumptions and to notice whose voices the sources leave out.
