He defended his thesis, ‘Politics, decolonisation, and the Cold War in Dar es Salaam’, last September. Since then, he has since been working as a Teaching Fellow in Modern African History. In Cambridge, George is aiming to revise his thesis for publication as a monograph, and to begin a new project on the history of Marxism in Eastern Africa.
