Jo Fox

Professor Jo Fox is an academic historian specialising in the history of film and propaganda in twentieth-century Europe. She is currently a professor at Durham University.

Before becoming a university lecturer, she had intended to use her historical training to work in heritage, but changed her mind after a student at the University of Kent told her, 'You have been an inspiration to all of us! You should be teaching!'[1]

In 2007, she was appointed a National Teaching Fellow. She is also a member of the Council for the International Association of Media and History and is on the editorial board of their academic journal, The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television. She is the honorary director of communications for the Royal Historical Society.[2]

Her interest in using new learning technologies has influenced others within Durham University, and in other institutions.[1] Notably, she contributed a case study to the National Blackboard Conference, chaired by Lord Dearing.[1]

Her most significant published work is Film Propaganda in Britain and Nazi Germany: World War II (2007), in which she compares the use of cinema in propaganda in Britain and Germany in the Second World War.

Media appearances

Jo Fox appeared as an expert for some of the episodes of the 2010 CBC Television documentary, Love, Hate & Propaganda.[3] She also appeared as an expert on the BBC Radio 4 programme Making History on 1 March 2011 to discuss satire and anti-fascist propaganda,[4] and on The One Show on 9 May 2011 to discuss public and media reactions to Rudolf Hess's 1941 parachute landing.
