Stanley Schwartz

Stanley Schwartz is an assistant professor of history at Cedarville University. He completed his PhD at Temple University in 2024, following the defense of a dissertation that examined how Civil War service influenced Union and Confederate junior officers. His research traced how a group of these men used their uniformed careers to enter politics and created a martial identity that influenced their policymaking on defense and diplomacy. He is working on turning the dissertation into a book while pursuing other projects on the Civil War, US national security, and American intellectual history. Before he enrolled at Temple, he worked as a Fulbright Postgraduate Scholar in Australia, researching the history of Australian politics, defense, and relations with the United States.
