Professor Andrew Dunar received his B.A.
from Northwestern University, his M.A. from UCLA, and his Ph.D. from the
University of Southern California. He teaches courses in twentieth century
American history and American foreign relations.
He is currently involved in two major research
projects. The first is an oral history of The Farm, an intentional
community in Summertown, Tennessee begun in the early seventies by a group
of hippies that originated in the San Francisco Bay Area, and which is
still thriving today. His other project is a biographical study of Harry
S. Truman's post-presidency.
He enjoys running, biking, reading and traveling. He and
his wife Cathie have two sons (Jamie and Michael) and a daughter
