About Stuart Schrader

Stuart Schrader is a postdoctoral fellow in global American studies at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University. He is working on a book currently titled “American Streets, Foreign Territory: Counterinsurgency, Police, and the War on Crime,” which argues that the U.S. program of Cold War assistance to police in Third World countries shaped domestic efforts to professionalize and reform police in response to fears of rising crime and civil unrest. Schrader’s dissertation, from which the book grows, was awarded finalist mention for the Ralph Henry Gabriel Dissertation Prize from the American Studies Association.
