Dr Baron has held visiting posts at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of British Columbia, and the London School of Economics.

Dr. Baron's research explores different ways that we experience international politics in our everyday lives. To date, he has written on post-truth politics, 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 long-term research project about political responsibility and dystopian novels. This project is a continuation of his work on post-truth politics.
