Ruth Lawlor

Assistant Professor

Overview

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

I was previously a visiting fellow at Yale and Boston Universities, and have spent the past number of years teaching 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 The Greater Second World War,  which will be published with Cornell University Press next Spring. I am currently writing about the U.S. military in Alaska.
