Jared M. Phillips joined the faculty of the International Studies program in 2016. He earned a Ph.D. in History at the University of Arkansas under the direction of Dr. Randall B. Woods. Dr. Phillips is a specialist on the history of U.S. foreign policy and U.S.-Sino relations in the late twentieth century, and he has published work on topics ranging from development policy in the Tibetan highlands, American foreign policy in the 1960s, and international human rights. He and his wife have spent the last eight years working in community development, environmental issues, and agriculture in a variety of locales, including the Tibetan areas of Western China, rural communities in Guatemala, and Pacific Island immigrant communities in the Ozarks. Among his other projects, Dr. Phillips is currently finishing a history of the back-to-the-land movement in the Arkansas Ozarks during the 1970s.
Dr. Phillips teaches INST 2013 Introduction to International Studies, as well as seminars on human rights, indigenous rights, and food security. He also supervises internships for students in the International Studies Program.
