Ruth Lawlor

Assistant Professor

Overview

I am a historian of U.S. foreign relations and teach classes on diplomatic, military and global history.

I was previously a visiting fellow at Yale and Boston Universities. Before coming to Cornell I taught American and European History at the University of Cambridge, where I also received my PhD. 

My book on sexual violence and the U.S. military justice system in World War II is forthcoming with Oxford University Press. I have also edited, with Andrew Buchanan, a new collection on the global history of World War II, titled ,  which will be published with Cornell University Press next Spring. I am currently writing about the U.S. military in Alaska.

I am interested in hearing from prospective graduate students wishing to conduct research on topics in U.S. military history, geopolitics, and/ or the global Second World War.
