Colleen Woods is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, specializing in US history within global contexts, particularly focusing on Asia, the Pacific, and decolonization processes. Her research explores the intersections of US imperialism, anticommunist politics, and transnational networks.
Her first book, Freedom Incorporated: Anticommunism and Philippine Independence in the Age of Decolonization (Cornell University Press, 2020), examines how anticommunist politics shaped US-Philippine relations from the 1930s through decolonization. Current research investigates US military reliance on Filipino labor in the postwar Pacific.
Woods teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on US foreign affairs, historical memory, CIA history, WWII in the Pacific, and the Vietnam War. Her research has been supported by the American Council of Learned Societies and the Society of Historians of American Foreign Relations.
