The members of the Bowling Green history faculty are committed scholars. They include a former President of the Society for
Historians of American Foreign Relations, a former Vice President of the International Committee on Soviet and East European
Studies, a member of the Board of Governors of the Historical Society, various Fulbright Scholars, and winners of, among other
academic honors, the Norman and Laura Graebner Award, the Heizer Prize, and the Phi Alpha Theta Best First Book Award. In
recognition of their exemplary research and publication record, two faculty members have been designated Distinguished Research
Professors by the university. Major recent faculty publications include:
Gary R. Hess, Vietnam: Explaining America's Lost War (Blackwell, 2008)
Scott C. Martin, Devil of the Domestic Sphere: Temperance, Gender, and Middle-class Ideology, 1800-1860 (Northern Illinois University Press, 2008)
Kenneth Kiple, A Moveable Feast: Ten Millennia of Food Globalization (Cambridge University Press, 2007)
Andrew M. Schocket, Founding Corporate Power in Early National Philadelphia (Northern Illinois University Press, 2007), winner of the 2008 Outstanding Publication Award from the Ohio Academy of History
The department consists as well of talented and committed teachers, a number of whom have won teaching prizes, and one whose
model career has been recognized with the university title of Distinguished Teaching Professor. The men and women who comprise
the core faculty of our department work in all areas and fields of history. The graduate program's focus on Policy History
means that many of our faculty are actively engaged in research and teaching with a policy dimension. Policy history integrates
scholarship in political and institutional history with cutting edge work in social and cultural history in such areas as:
Women, Gender, and Policy, Social Policy, Foreign Policy/International Security, Economic Policy, and The State and State
Formation. Members of our faculty also direct the Asian Studies Program and the Africana Studies Program, and are intimately
involved with the programs in American Culture Studies, Ethnic Studies and Women's Studies, as well as other area studies
institutes and programs.
