David William Farber is the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor at the University of Kansas, specializing in 20th-century American history with a focus on political, cultural, and social movements. His work examines conservatism, countercultural movements, and the transformative decades of the 1960s and 1970s. Farber has authored influential books including The Rise and Fall of Modern American Conservatism (2010) and The Age of Great Dreams: America in the 1960s (1994), as well as edited volumes like The Columbia Guide to America in the 1960s (2001).
His research explores intersections between political ideology, economic systems, and grassroots activism. Notable themes include the evolution of American conservatism, the cultural impact of the counterculture, and the global dimensions of 1960s movements. Farber’s scholarship often bridges academic rigor with public engagement, addressing topics like anti-war activism, corporate leadership (e.g., Everybody Ought to Be Rich: The Life and Times of John J. Raskob, 2013), and Cold War-era cultural dynamics.
Publications from 2010–2016 reflect his sustained engagement with conservatism’s historiography, countercultural communities, and transnational activism. His work consistently emphasizes how ideas about democracy, self-determination, and social justice shaped—and were shaped by—key historical moments.
