Background
Prof. Mitchell Lerner received his B.A. from Brandeis University and
his Ph.D. from the University of Texas-Austin. His research and
teaching focus is on modern American diplomatic and political
history, with an emphasis on US-Korean relations, as well as general
American policy in the 1960s.
Dr. Lerner's first book, The Pueblo Incident: A Spy Ship and the
Failure of American Foreign Policy, was published in 2002 by
the University Press of Kansas. The book won the 2002 John Lyman
Book Award for the best work of US Naval History, and was named by
the American Library Association as one of fifty "historically
significant works" that would not have been published after the
passage of Executive Order 13233. It was also nominated for the
Pulitzer and Bancroft Prizes.
Dr. Lerner is also the editor of Looking Back at LBJ, a
collection of essays about the Johnson Administration published in
2005. He has published articles about modern American politics and
foreign policy in numerous anthologies and journals, including
Diplomatic History, Diplomacy & Statecraft, Presidential Studies
Quarterly, Southwestern Historical Quarterly, the Journal of Cold
War Studies, and the Korean Society Quarterly. He is currently at
work on a broad policy history of the Johnson Administration.
In
2005-06, he held the Mary Ball Washington Distinguished Fulbright
Chair in American History at University College-Dublin. Professor
Lerner has also served as a Fellow at the University of Virginia’s
Miller Center for Public Affairs, where he helped to edit a series
of books regarding the Johnson presidency. He has received
fellowships and grants from the Lyndon Johnson Presidential Library,
the Dwight Eisenhower Presidential Library, and the John F. Kennedy
Presidential Library, where he won the Kovler Fellowship in Foreign
Intelligence in 2001. He also serves as editor of Passport: The
Newsletter of the Society of Historians of American Foreign
Relations, and co-directs, with Peter Hahn, the OSU Graduate
Workshop Program in Diplomatic History. He also serves on the
teaching committee for the Society for Historians of American
Foreign Relations, and in 2005, he won the OSU Alumni Award for
Distinguished Teaching.
