About the Author(s): David Michael Kennedy (born 1941) is an American historian specializing in American history. He is the Donald J. McLachlan Professor of History Emeritus at Stanford University and the former Director of the Bill Lane Center for the American West. Kennedy's scholarship is notable for its integration of economic analysis and cultural analysis with social history and political history. Kennedy is responsible for the recent editions of the popular history textbook The American Pageant. He is also the current editor (since 1999) of the Oxford History of the United States series. This position was held previously by C. Vann Woodward. Earlier in his career, Kennedy won the Bancroft Prize for his first book Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger (1970), and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his book World War I, Over Here: The First World War and American Society (1980). He was the Harold Vyvyan Harmsworth Professor of American History in 1995-1996. He won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for History for Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945 (1999). Reflecting his interdisciplinary training in American Studies, which combined the fields of history, literature, and economics, Professor Kennedy's scholarship is notable for its integration of economic and cultural analysis with social and political history. His 1970 book, Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger, embraced the medical, legal, political, and religious dimensions of the subject and helped to pioneer the emerging field of women's history. Over Here: The First World War and American Society (1980) used the history of American involvement in World War I to analyze the American political system, economy, and culture in the early twentieth century. Freedom From Fear: The American People in Depression and War (1999) recounts the history of the United States in the two great crises of the Great Depression and World War II. Lizabeth Cohen is the Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies and a Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of History at Harvard. From 2011-18 she was the dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Her most recent book is Saving America's Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in October 2019, which won the Bancroft Prize for 2020. It examines the benefits and costs of the shifting strategies for rebuilding American cities after World War II by following the career of urban redeveloper Edward J. Logue, who oversaw major renewal projects in New Haven, Boston, and New York State from the 1950s through the 1980s. Cohen's previous books include Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919-1939, winner of the Bancroft Prize and a finalist for the Pulitzer, and A Consumers Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar America. She is also co-author with David Kennedy and Margaret O'Mara of a widely used college and advanced placement United State history textbook, The American Pageant. Her writings have appeared as well in many edited volumes, academic journals, and popular venues, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, and the American Prospect. Among many awards and honors, Cohen has been a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. She is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Society of American Historians. She was the Harold Vyvyan Harmsworth Professor of American History at Oxford during 2007-8 and she is a former president of the Urban History Association. Before joining the Harvard faculty, Cohen served in the history departments at Carnegie Mellon University and New York University. Cohen received her MA and Ph.D. from the University of California Berkeley and her A.B. from Princeton University. At Harvard, Cohen teaches a wide range of courses in twentieth-century U.S. History, urban history, the built environment, and public history. In addition to her deanship at the Radcliffe Institute, Cohen has contributed to Harvard's institutional life in many ways. She is currently co-chair of the Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative. Her past activities have included serving as chair and director of undergraduate studies in the Department of History; as faculty director of the Charles Warren Center; as a member of the FAS Faculty Council, FAS Resources Committee, the Harvard College Curricular Review Steering Committee in 2004, and the Harvard Task Force on Women in 2005; and as co-chair of the Common Spaces Committee from 2008-18. Mel Piehl, Ph.D., senior research professor in Christ College, will succeed Fred Niedner, Ph.D. senior research professor of theology, as the fourth director of the Cambridge Seminar for new faculty. The Cambridge Seminar is a vocational retreat for new tenure-track faculty held at the University's study center in Cambridge, England, and represents the University's commitment to faculty development and to strengthening the unique mission and ethos of Valpo. Professor Piehl served as dean of Christ College from 2003-2013.
