Beverly Gage
Beverly Gage is an American academic who is a professor of history and American studies at Yale University. She was the director of the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy at Yale. She is the author of The Day Wall Street Exploded: A Story of America in Its First Age of Terror (Oxford University Press, 2009).[1] In 2021, Gage was nominated to the National Council on the Humanities.[2]
Education and career[]
Gage attended Yale as an undergraduate, graduating in 1994 with a degree in American studies, then earned her PhD in history at Columbia University in 2004.[3]
In September 2021, she announced that she would resign as director of the Grand Strategy program, effective December 2021, citing concerns about academic freedom and a "board of visitors" that was formed to oversee her work.[4] In an interview with The New York Times, she stated, "It’s very difficult to teach effectively or creatively in a situation where you are being second-guessed and undermined and not protected." On October 1, 2021, the Yale history department issued a statement in support of her.[5]
