Edward Ingram (historian)

Edward Roger Ingram Ellis (born in Calcutta, India) was an Anglo-Canadian historian of the British Empire, long-time former editor of the International History Review, and emeritus professor at Simon Fraser University.

Having obtained his BA and MA degrees from Balliol College, Oxford, Ingram went on to receive his PhD in international history from the London School of Economics, completing his doctoral dissertation under the direction of Hilda Lee and Elie Kedourie.

Most of Ingram's scholarly publishing focused on the so-called Great Game, the imperial rivalry between the British and Russian Empires in Central Asia.

In 1966 he joined the faculty of Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

He remained Professor of Imperial History Emeritus at SFU until his passing in 2022.
