Daniel Immerwahr, professor of history at Northwestern University, received his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, where he studied history and philosophy. Then, funded by a Marshall scholarship, he received a second BA, this time at King’s College at Cambridge University. His mentor there was the historian of empire, C. A. Bayly, and he wrote his thesis on postcolonial Nigerian architecture under the supervision of John Lonsdale. He returned to the United States to get a doctoral degree in history at the University of California, Berkeley, studying under the intellectual historian David Hollinger. His dissertation won the Allan Nevins Prize in American Economic History from the Economic History Association, and it received honorable mention for the Betty M. Unterberger Prize from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.
Kathy Kelly has traveled to war zones and lived alongside ordinary people
in Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Bosnia, Haiti and Nicaragua. She
and her companions in various peace team delegations believe the U.S.
should end all U.S. military and economic warfare and pay reparations for
suffering already caused by U.S. wars.
