Bio Note:
John graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2011 with a B.S. in Political Science and History. He is working towards his MA and PhD at KU and plans to complete his dissertation by spring 2016. John's research focuses on the U.S. Army's occupation of Germany. Whereas the existing historiography on the occupation has addressed it as a matter of policy, John hopes to emphasize the day-to-day realities and difficulties faced by the Americans charged with running the occupation. By doing so, he hopes to expand the context in which the occupation is analyzed.
John was awarded the Kevin J. Carroll Prize at the 2013 Missouri Valley History Conference by SMH for his paper, "'The Headaches Continue to Pile Up': The American Occupation of 1945."
In addition to history, John enjoys watching, playing, and discussing sports.
