Geoffrey Alderman
Geoffrey Alderman (born 10 February 1944) is a British historian who specialises in 19th and 20th centuries Jewish community in England. He is also a political adviser and journalist.
Born in Middlesex, Alderman was educated at Hackney Downs School (then a grammar school), then studied history at Lincoln College, Oxford, from 1962, graduating with a BA in 1965 and an MA and D.Phil. in 1969. After short academic contracts at University College London, and the universities of Swansea and Reading, he joined Royal Holloway College (University of London) in 1972, lecturing in politics and contemporary history. He was made Professor of Politics and Contemporary History in 1988.[citation needed]
From 1989 to 1994, he held senior administrative posts in the University of London and from 1994 to 1999 in Middlesex University. From 1999, he has worked in the private educational sector, in the US (Touro College) and, from 2002 to 2006, at the American InterContinental University, London, where he was Academic Dean and Senior Vice-President. On 1 June 2007, Alderman joined the academic staff of the University of Buckingham.[citation needed]
In 1971, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and in 1991 a Fellow (now a Life Fellow) of the Royal Society of Arts.
In 2006, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Letters by the University of Oxford for his important work on Anglo-Jewish history.[citation needed] In 2010, he was appointed a Visiting Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Higher Education Policy Studies. At a ceremony in London on 6 March 2011, Alderman was named the winner of the Chaim Bermant Prize for Journalism 2011.
He describes himself as an unconventional Orthodox Jew.
Alderman has occasionally contributed to Iran's PressTV channel. In 2011, he made four such appearances and donated his appearance fees of £300 to Israel.
In the summer of 2008, following Alderman's inaugural professorial lecture at the University of Buckingham, and criticisms of some aspects of UK higher education by the UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, a brief parliamentary inquiry was undertaken into these allegations.
