Historian of US foreign relations, Associate Professor at University of Kansas, mediocre knitter, and pie connoisseur. Author of "The Poverty of the World: Rediscovering the Poor at Home and Abroad, 1941-1968," an actual book I researched and wrote!

@rauchway.bsky.social Hello. I'm not entirely sure if I already did this or not and I'm not clever enough with this app yet to know the difference. 😂 Would you kindly add me to What's History?

Grateful to KU News for writing up this nice little piece on my book. If you're interested in the Cold War, poverty & development, or postwar liberalism, I wrote this book for you! 🗃️

SHAFR historians, check your email! The Council on Foreign Relations has pledged to contribute $5,000 to SHAFR's grad student travel fund if 30% of SHAFR members complete the CFR's survey on historic foreign policy decisions. Just takes a few minutes!

I am developing a "launch strategy" but for anyone casually looking for a revisionist history of US Cold War social politics on this last Friday morning of summer, it's publication day for "The Poverty of the World"! global.oup.com/academic/pro...
