Darius Wainwright is a historian who specialises in the history of cultural relations, public diplomacy, and soft power. He primarily focuses on the spread of American norms, values, and ideas at both state and non-state levels in the Middle East, as well as US-Iran relations more broadly. Darius has also written extensively on the British Council's activities during the Cold War.
Darius' current research builds on his prior work. He is currently examining how American cultural bodies, like the Smithsonian Institute, facilitated cultural exchanges. He is also exploring how New York City used the 1964-65 World's Fair to engage with overseas governments and foreign publics.
