Biography

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 taught 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 (Kimberly).
