Biography 

Benjamin Caraco is student at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan. He holds a BA in History from Paris-I and a BA in Sociology from Paris-IV. In 2008 he commenced a two-year M.Phil. in Modern History at the Sorbonne (Paris-I), under the supervision of Prof. Christophe Charle. He concurrently enrolled at Keble College (Oxford) and was awarded a M.St. in History from the University of Oxford in 2009 under the supervision of Mr. Peter Ghosh. He is currently a visiting research scholar at the Faculty of History (Oxford).

His main research interests are the following:

• Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881);

• the Conservative Party during the 19^th and 20^th centuries (ideologies and leaders);

• Victorian politics.

His first M.Phil. dissertation was about Benjamin Disraeli's afterlife and particularly about the biographies written after his death (up to 1929). His second M.Phil. dissertation proposes to follow the first one and will be focused on Disraeli's image and its use by Conservative politicians to shape political discourse.
