معرفی
Mark Hendrickson is Associate Professor of History at the University of California, San Diego, teaching undergraduate courses including U.S. Economic History I & II, New Era/New Deal, and specialized seminars on economic panics. His research examines American capitalism's global dimensions through mining, science, and technology since the 1880s.
Hendrickson's work centers on transnational resource extraction's role in shaping U.S. foreign policy, scientific expertise, and economic systems. His current book project uses antimony as a lens to investigate connections between mining engineers, corporate development, and statecraft. Key research areas include labor history, corporate governance, and the history of scientific knowledge production in industrial contexts.
His publications demonstrate an evolving trajectory from domestic corporate history (American Labor and Economic Citizenship) to global mining networks, recently analyzing antimony production in China and coal governance. Recurring themes include resource anxieties, scientific authority in policy-making, and the interplay between technological innovation and imperial expansion.
His scholarly recognition includes:
- Andrew W. Mellon Foundation New Directions Fellowship (enabling interdisciplinary mining industry research at Colorado School of Mines and Michigan Technological University)
Dr. Hendrickson utilized the Mellon fellowship for advanced technical training in mining studies but no information is available regarding graduate student advising. His immediate research focus remains completing the antimony monograph while expanding analysis of resource governance in global capitalism.
