Professor, Columbia University

British-born academic Simon Schama is professor of Art History and History at Columbia University in New York. He taught history at Cambridge (Christ's College), Oxford (Brasenose College) and art history and history at Harvard before coming to Columbia. His many books have won the Wolfson Award for History, the W.H.

Among Schama's acclaimed recent works are his two-volume The Story of the Jews, along with an accompanying BBC/PBS television series hailed by The Guardian as a "towering achievement that demonstrates Schama's finest qualities to exhilarating effect."
