Professor Baron's research explores different ways that we experience international politics in our everyday lives. His research has addressed post-truth politics, disinformation and democracy, political responsibility, the Jewish Diaspora's relationship with Israel, and the international cultural politics of Israeli cuisine. In addition, he has written on violence, the ethics of war, identity and security, and International Relations theory. He is currently working on a book project about responsibility that engages with dystopian and science fiction novels. This project has been supported by a British Academy/Leverhulme Small Grant and a Huntington Fellowship.
