Landry Brewer serves as the Bernhardt Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Sciences at Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU), teaching core history and political science courses including United States History to 1877, United States History Since 1877, World History, World Cultural Geography, American Government and Politics, and Modern World History.
His educational credentials are exclusively from SWOSU, comprising an Associate of Science (A.S.), Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.), Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies, Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, and Master of Education (M.Ed.).
Dr. Brewer's research centers on Cold War history with intense regional focus on Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas, examining nuclear missile deployments, civil defense infrastructure, and community preparedness during the 1960s. His work uniquely bridges national military strategy with hyperlocal historical narratives, revealing how ordinary communities confronted nuclear annihilation threats through grassroots civil defense programs and military installations.
His publication trajectory demonstrates systematic expansion of regional Cold War historiography, progressing from Oklahoma-specific missile sites to comparative analyses across three states. The consistent emphasis on primary-source documentation of missile silos, civil defense drills, and Soviet espionage cases establishes him as a leading scholar in central U.S. nuclear history.
Through public history initiatives, Dr. Brewer transforms academic research into community engagement by creating campus artifact displays, facilitating historical society donations, and securing state historical markers for decommissioned missile sites, notably the Atlas F ICBM facility near Willow, Oklahoma.
