I’m a specialist in the history of U.S. foreign relations with a particular emphasis on Anglo-American relations. My publications include Empire and Nationhood: The United States, Great Britain, and Iranian Oil, 1950-1954 (Columbia University Press, 1997); co-edited volumes on the recent history/future of NATO and U.S. relations with the Third World; and numerous essays in edited collections and professional journals, including the International History Review and Diplomatic History. My current research projects include an exploration of the issue of colonialism as a factor in Anglo-American relations, particularly against the backdrop of the United Nations, in the period 1945-1963; a study of Anglo-American visions of empire in the period 1945-1956; and the first extended study of Queen Mary’s Carpet. I’m active in the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, having served on its Council and on the editorial board of its journal, Diplomatic History. Currently I’m a member of the Harry S. Truman Library Institute’s Committee on Research, Scholarship, and Academic Relations and Secretary-Treasurer of the Ohio Academy of History. |
