James McAllister Named 'Dream Mentor'02:49PM / Tuesday, July 21, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The University of Virginia Miller Center has named James McAllister a "Dream Mentor" in its Governing America in a Global Era Program.
McAllister, who is associate professor of political science and chair of the Leadership Studies Program at Williams College, will mentor GAGE Fellow Brendan Green of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Green's project is titled "Two Concepts of Liberty: American Grand Strategy and the Liberal Tradition."
The GAGE program, initiated in 2000, provides financial support to students who are completing their doctorate dissertation in fields that use history to shed light on contemporary U.S. domestic and foreign policies and politics.
Besides identifying and supporting the next generation of scholars, the program connects each fellow to a "dream mentor." Eight fellows were chosen this year from 185 applicants enrolled at leading doctorate programs in history, political science, and sociology.
Each year, Program Director Brian Balogh works closely with his GAGE associates and the fellows to identify ideal faculty advisors who can best aid fellows in their research pursuits. Mentors are drawn from leading political science, history, and sociology departments around the world.
McAllister is the author of "No Exit: America and the German Problem 1943–1954" (Cornell University Press, 2002). His primary interests include American foreign policy, the Cold War, and European politics. The college named him Gaudino Scholar in 2004-06 and he is the recipient of numerous fellowships and grants, including an Oakley Fellowship (Williams College Oakley Center for the Humanities and Social Sciences), the Lyndon Baines Johnson Travel Grant, the John Olin Fellowship, and the Columbia University President's Fellowship. He has served as an article reviewer for Political Science Quarterly, and as a book reviewer for Penn State University Press. McAllister earned his Ph.D. from Columbia University.
Founded in 1975, the Miller Center of Public Affairs is a leading nonpartisan public policy institution that aims to fulfill Jefferson's public service mission by serving as a national meeting place for engaged citizens, scholars, students, media representatives, and government officials to research, reflect, and report on issues of national importance to the governance of the United States, with special attention to the central role and history of the presidency. |
