Exploring the idea of a 'wireless world', a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, including the pioneering days of wireless, the Second World War, the Cold War, and the decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.

His work on radio broadcasting has been published in the Economic History Review and the European Review of Economic History, and he is currently writing on British colonial broadcasting from 1930 to 1960, focusing on the building of infrastructures and the uptake of radio receiving sets.

She is the author of Budapest's Children: Humanitarian Relief in the Aftermath of the Great War (2022) and Written Here, Published There: How Underground Literature Crossed the Iron Curtain (2014), which won the University of Southern California Book Prize in Cultural and Literary Studies for 2015. She has co-edited two volumes: From the Midwife's Bag to the Patient's File: Public Health in Eastern Europe (2017) and Samizdat, Tamizdat and Beyond: Transnational Media during and after Socialism (2013), and most recently a double special issue on Childhood in Times of Political Transformation (2021).
Vincent Kuitenbrouwer is senior lecturer in the History of International Relations at the University of Amsterdam.

He is currently working on Dutch international radio broadcasting in the late colonial period and the era of decolonisation. Recent publications include 'Radio as a Tool of Empire. Intercontinental Broadcasting from the Netherlands to the Dutch East Indies in the 1920s and 1930s', Itinerario (2016) and '“From Heart to Heart”: Colonial Radio and the Dutch Imagined Community in the 1920s' in G.

Rebecca P. Scales is Associate Professor of History at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She is the author of Radio and the Politics of Sound in Interwar France (2016), which examines how the airwaves became a new space for political engagement during the decades between the two world wars, transforming the act of listening into an important, if highly contested practice of citizenship.

With Alejandra Bronfman and Andrea Stanton, she is a co-director of a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for College and University Faculty entitled 'Radio and Decolonization: Bringing Sound into Twentieth-Century History'.
