Jared McBride is a historian of Russia, Ukraine, and Eastern Europe in the 20th century. His research examines mass violence, the Holocaust, interethnic conflict, nationalist movements, and war crimes prosecution. Dr. McBride is currently completing his first book, Pathways to Perpetration: Mass Violence and the Undoing of Multi-Ethnic Western Ukraine, 1941–1944. In it, he draws on newly opened KGB archives and a decade of research in Russia and Ukraine to explain why local civilians perpetrated multi-layered ethnic violence against diverse victim groups in Nazi-occupied Ukraine. McBride’s research has been supported by numerous fellowships, including the Guggenheim, SSRC, and Fulbright-Hays. He has published in journals such as Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Journal of Genocide Research, and Slavic Review; and has been featured in The Nation, Forward, Haaretz, and the Los Angeles Times.
