Debate in this journal over this paper: Interviews: Ernest Mandel. Timothy Mitchell, Columbia. Timothy Mitchell is a political theorist and historian. His areas of research include the place of colonialism in the making of modernity, the material and technical politics of the Middle East, and the role of economics and other forms of expert knowledge in the government of collective life. Much of his current work is concerned with ways of thinking about politics that allow material and technical things more weight than they are given in conventional political theory. Educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he received a first-class honours degree in History, Mitchell completed his Ph.D. in Politics and Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University in 1984.

He joined Columbia University in 2008 after teaching for twenty-five years at New York University, where he served as Director of the Center for Near Eastern Studies. Mitchell's subsequent work covered a variety of topics in political theory and the contemporary material politics of the Middle East. David Harvey. Neil Smith. Don Mitchell.
