传记与作者历程
Jeanne Theoharis has built her career as a scholar who treats history not as a settled national story but as a site of argument, recovery, and public responsibility. Educated at Harvard University and then at the University of Michigan, where she earned a Ph.D. in American Culture, she later joined Brooklyn College and rose to become a Distinguished Professor, while also serving at the CUNY Graduate Center. Her student years already hinted at the shape of her later work: as a Harvard senior in 1991, she was publicly involved in organizing around faculty diversity, a women’s center, and labor issues, suggesting an early commitment to linking scholarship with civic dissent.
