David Austin Walsh is a historian who studies politics, culture, political economy, religion, and intellectual history. His first book, Taking America Back: The Conservative Movement and the Far Right, is a study of the intertwined relationship between “respectable” conservatives and far-right extremists in the United States from the New Deal era to the end of the 20th century and will be published by Yale University Press next year. He is currently working on a project about the liberal countermobilization against the far right in the 1960s. He teaches classes on social, cultural, and political history with a special emphasis on far-right political movements, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories.
