Daniel Pope
History

Daniel Pope earned his Ph.D from Columbia University in 1973 and was a Harvard-Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellow. He joined the UO Department of History in 1975 and has since taught sections of the US History survey course; more specialized courses in business history, economic history, consumer culture in the United States, and the history of American radicalism; and courses in Denmark. Along the way, he has been the recipient of the CIES/Fulbright Senior Lecturer Award and the Burlington Northern Distinguished Teacher Award. As a university scholar, he has published articles and books focused on economic history, business history, and advertising history. More recently, he has immersed himself in issues related to nuclear power in the American West and Pacific Northwest, publishing articles about the Eugene’s flirtation with nuclear power and the Washington Public Power Supply System.

Only recently has Professor Pope been a mentor for a McNair student, but his support for the program and its goals predates the program’s existence on the UO campus. His close examination of American social history and his genuine concern for students make him an ideal person to offer remarks for the eighth McNair Research Symposium.
