Biography

Andrew M. Johnston is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Carleton University, specializing in late 19th to 20th-century United States history. His research focuses on topics such as imperialism, foreign relations, and American social thought, exploring the complex interplay between industrialization and social movements. His current work examines the crisis-affected North Atlantic world and the industrial-imperial societies emerging in the early 20th century. This project extends from his studies on American progressive liberal internationalism during World War I and seeks to understand how nation-states responded to internal conflicts arising from factors like industrial labor and women’s activism. Johnston has a diverse range of research interests, including humanitarian intervention, human rights, gender issues, and the history of international relations theory. His reputation is further bolstered by his committed approach to teaching and mentoring graduate students in various historical subfields.
