Ralph Fevre
Ralph Fevre has held academic appointments at the Universities of Aberdeen, Bangor, Beijing Normal, Cardiff, Oxford and Swansea.
In 2010 he published, with Angus Bancroft, Dead White Men and Other Important People, a textbook for first year students written as a novel. It became a best-seller and was translated into Korean and Chinese. A second edition was published in 2016. A non-fiction work, The Demoralization of Western Culture, was translated into Chinese and attracted a wide readership outside Universities. A third title, Trouble at Work followed - these books are all published by Bloomsbury.
Ralph has been an Emeritus Professor at Cardiff University since 2018 and is a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales. He continues to give Masters courses twice a year to students in Brazil and China. He has published numerous academic articles and seven academic monographs.
Additionally, Ralph is also an experienced writer of non-academic material, including journalism for The New Statesman and an op-ed for The Guardian. He has been commissioned to write a series of articles for Sixth-form students, provocative writing for opera-goers, and pieces for specialist magazines including People Management and The Conversation.
As a public speaker, Ralph has given talks to audiences of academics, policymakers and civil society organisations in the UK, Brazil, China, Canada, Hong Kong, Portugal and the US, including at leading universities such as UC Berkeley and Tsinghua University. His work has been profiled twice on Radio Four’s Thinking Allowed. He has also taken part in panel discussions on culture and politics at events as diverse as an Amnesty International literary event, a film screening at the Chapter Arts centre, and the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival (in a session chaired by Maxine Peake).
Ralph divides his time between South Wales and Haute Savoie where he indulges his love of skiing and walking and tries to improve his French. He enjoys running, opera and scuba diving and, above all, spending time with his expanding family (he has three grown up daughters) in England and the US.
