Early life
Mandler was born in 1958 in the United States of America. After attending Magdalen College, Oxford, as an undergraduate, Mandler did his PhD at Harvard where he wrote a dissertation entitled Liberalism and Paternalism: The Whig Aristocracy and the Condition of England, 1830–1852.
Academic career
Before joining the history faculty at Cambridge, he worked at Princeton and London Guildhall University.
Mandler supports popular, public history as expressed by Simon Schama, Linda Colley and Niall Ferguson over the narrow, specialist study of the discipline. He occasionally makes television and radio appearances himself.
He is currently working on a book about the anthropologist Margaret Mead and anthropology's move from the study of "simple, primitive" to "complex, modern" culture. This book was published in 2013 by Yale University Press.
On 16 July 2015, he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA).
