Steven Brady

Steven Brady is an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies and Advising at George Washington University. His research focuses on 20th-century United States Cold War diplomatic history, including themes such as religion and foreign relations, German-American relations, US-Vatican ties, and paradiplomacy. He previously taught at the University of Notre Dame for seventeen years, where he received three teaching awards, including the Edmund P. Joyce Award. His published works include *Eisenhower and Adenauer: Alliance Maintenance under Pressure* and *Chained to History: Slavery and United States Foreign Relations to 1865* (2022). Upcoming publications include *Less than Victory: American Catholics and the Vietnam War* (Cambridge, 2025) and projects on paradiplomacy and Adlai Stevenson's legacy.

• Education Background: Ph.D. in History (implied via academic role).

Brady's research bridges military history, peace movements, and the intersection of religion with statecraft. His recent work examines how historical narratives shape contemporary foreign policy, particularly through the lens of Cold War alliances and transnational religious diplomacy. His current projects explore subnational diplomacy (paradiplomacy) by U.S. governors and the legacy of Adlai Stevenson.

As an educator, he emphasizes undergraduate advising and has held continuous office hours in Spring 2025 (Mondays 9:30–11:00 AM; Tuesdays/Thursdays 1:30–3:00 PM).
