He served as the Edgar E. Robinson Professor of United States History at Stanford University from 1984 until retiring in 2002.
His scholarship focused on racism, white supremacy, and comparative studies of racial systems across different societies.
Fredrickson's work examined historical manifestations of racism in Nazi Germany, the American South, and South Africa.

His comparative methodology and precise definitions influenced how scholars conceptualize and study racism historically.
