Kurk Dorsey serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of History at the University of New Hampshire, specializing in environmental history, US foreign policy, and Canadian historical studies with a focus on diplomatic intersections.
His academic credentials include:
- B.A. in Biology, Cornell University
- B.A. in History, Cornell University
- M.A. in History, Northwestern University
- Ph.D. in History, Yale University
Dorsey's research interrogates environmental diplomacy through historical analysis of wildlife treaties, conservation movements, and transboundary environmental conflicts. His work critically examines how diplomatic frameworks shape ecological outcomes, particularly in North American contexts spanning the Progressive Era to contemporary whaling disputes.
His publication record reveals consistent thematic focus on international conservation governance, with recurring analysis of US-Canada treaty negotiations, military-environmental interactions, and wilderness preservation politics. Articles in American Historical Review and Diplomatic History demonstrate methodological integration of diplomatic archives with ecological case studies across Yellowstone, the Kaibab Plateau, and Pacific salmon fisheries.
