Presidential Address
"Water and the Making of the West: A Story of
Success and Crisis"
David M. Kennedy, the Donald J. McLachlan
Professor of History, Emeritus, and Co-Director of the
Bill Lane Center for the American West at Stanford
University
DAVID M. KENNEDY is a native of Seattle and a 1963 Stanford
graduate. He received his Ph.D. in American Studies from Yale
University in 1968. He joined the Stanford faculty in 1967.
Professor Kennedy has long taught both undergraduate and
graduate courses in the history of the twentieth-century United
States, American political and social thought, American foreign
policy, American literature, and the comparative development of
democracy in Europe and America. Graduating seniors have four
times elected him as Class Day speaker. In 1988 he received the
ii
Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching, and in 2005 the
Hoagland Prize for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. He
has also received the Stanford Alumni Association's Richard W.
Lyman Award for faculty service, and the Organization of
American Historian’s Distinguished Service Award. In 2008 the
Yale University Graduate School presented him with its highest
honor, the Wilbur Cross Medal.
Reflecting his interdisciplinary training in American Studies,
which combined the fields of history, literature, and economics,
Professor Kennedy's scholarship is notable for its integration of
economic and cultural analysis with social and political history.
His 1970 book, Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret
Sanger, embraced the medical, legal, political, and religious
dimensions of the subject and helped to pioneer the emerging
field of women's history. Over Here: The First World War and
American Society (1980) used the history of American
involvement in World War I to analyze the American political
system, economy, and culture in the early twentieth century.
Freedom From Fear: The American People in Depression and
War, 1929-1945 (1999) recounts the history of the American
people in the two great crises of the Great Depression and World
War II. With Thomas A. Bailey and Lizabeth Cohen, Kennedy is
also the co-author of a textbook in American history, The
American Pageant, now in its fifteenth edition.
Birth Control in America was honored with the John Gilmary
Shea Prize in 1970 and the Bancroft Prize in 1971. Over Here
was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 1981. Freedom From Fear was a
Main Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club and the History
Book Club, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and
winner of the Pulitzer and Francis Parkman Prizes, as well as the
English-Speaking Union’s Ambassador’s Prize, and the
Commonwealth Club of California’s California Book Award Gold
Medal, all in 2000.
Professor Kennedy has been a visiting professor at the
University of Florence, Italy, and has lectured on American
history in Italy, Germany, Turkey, Scandinavia, Canada, Britain,
Australia, and Ireland. He has served as chair of the Stanford
History Department, and as director of Stanford's Program in
International Relations, as well as Associate Dean of the School
of Humanities and Sciences. He has served on the Advisory
iii
Board for the Public Broadcasting System's "The American
Experience" and has chaired the Test Development Committee
for the Educational Testing Service's Advanced Placement
Program in American History. He has also served as a director of
the CORO Foundation, and as chair of the Board of Directors of
the Stanford University Bookstore. He is also on the board of
Environmental Traveling Companions, a service organization for
the handicapped. In 1995-96, he was the Harmsworth Professor
of American History at Oxford University. He is an elected Fellow
of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as well as the
American Philosophical Society. From 2002 to 2011 he served
on the Board of the Pulitzer Prizes (chair, 2010-2011) and in
2008 joined the Board of the New York Historical Society. Since
2000, he has served as the Editor of the Oxford History of the
United States.
As Co-Director of The Bill Lane Center for the American West,
Kennedy has become increasingly engaged with a range of
issues affecting the western region, including water, the
demography of the rural West, state and local governance,
climate change, immigration, bio-diversity, and the future of the
national parks. Read more at: http://west.stanford.edu/
