Breuilly taught at the universities of Manchester (1972–95) and Birmingham (1995-

2004). He has been a visiting professor at the universities of Hamburg (1987-8) and
Bielefeld (1992-3). He is currently professor of nationalism and ethnicity at the

Research and writing

Breuilly's research interests are "Nationalism and Ethnicity, Modern German

History, Comparative European History with special interests in Labour Movements
and the Bourgeoisie, Urban Cultural History in 19th Century Europe, Modern
Liberalism".[2] At the University of Manchester, Breuilly still regarded himself
primarily as a historian of Germany when he became interested in nationalisms. He
realised that the only way the book he was looking for on the subject would exist,
was if he wrote it. His pioneering[3] Nationalism and the State was published in
1982.[4] Breuilly was also the editor of the Oxford handbook of the history of
nationalism (2013).[5]
