An Example Of A Modern Day History Professor

quote:

---

Drew McKevitt joined the Department of History in 2012. He received the Ph.D. from Temple University in 2009. Before arriving at Louisiana Tech he served as the Hollybush Fellow in Cold War History at Rowan University and as a visiting assistant professor of history at Philadelphia University. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in the history of U.S. foreign relations, the postwar United States, modern Russia, and modern Japan.

Dr. McKevitt's research focuses on U.S. cultural relations in the postwar era. His current book manuscript, Consuming Japan: Popular Culture and the Globalizing of America, under contract with the University of North Carolina Press, is a history of U.S.-Japan relations in the 1970s and 1980s told through the lens of consumerism in the United States. He was the recipient of the 2011 Stuart L. Bernath Scholarly Article Prize, which was awarded by the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations for the year's best article in the field. The article, "'You Are Not Alone!' Anime and the Globalizing of America," published in the journal Diplomatic History, examines the local, national, and transnational cultural networks created by fans of Japanese animation in the 1970s and 1980s.
