Research and Teaching Interests

Fred Logevall joined the Department of History in 2004.  He previously taught at UC Santa Barbara, where he co-founded the Center for Cold War Studies.  A specialist on U.S. foreign relations, Professor Logevall teaches a range of courses covering the history of U.S. diplomacy and foreign policy, as well as the international history of the Cold War and the Vietnam Wars.  His current research projects include an interpretive history of "America's Cold War" (co-authored with Campbell Craig and forthcoming from Belknap Press/Harvard UP) and a book-length study of the struggle for Indochina after 1940.  In 2006-07 he was Leverhulme Professor of History at the University of Nottingham and Mellon Senior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge.
