| Joyce
Appleby, Ph.D.
Professor Emerita, University of California in Los
Angeles
 After
graduating from Stanford University in 1950, Joyce Appleby worked
for Mademoiselle magazine in New York City, returning to California
to be married and to continue magazine and newspaper writing while
her children were young. After the birth of her third child, she
enrolled at Claremont Graduate School where she earned a Ph.D. in
history in 1966.
She spent 1970-71 in London doing
research on her book, Ideology and Economic Thought in
Seventeenth-Century England, winner of the 1978 Berkshire Prize. She
returned with her family to Cambridge, England, in 1977-78 where she
was a Fellow Commoner at Churchill College. In 1980, she was named
to the Council of the Institute of Early American History and
Culture at Williamsburg, acting as chair from 1983 to 1986. She has
also served on the editorial boards of the American Historical
Review and the William and Mary Quarterly.
In 1981, she was appointed Professor of
History at UCLA where she taught for twenty years, retiring in June
of 2001.
In 1992 Harvard University Press bought
out a collection of her essays, as Liberalism and Republicanism in
the Historical Imagination and in 1994, she published with Lynn Hunt
and Margaret Jacob Telling the Truth about History. She is currently
working on a study of the cohort of Americans, black and white, male
and female, born between 1776-1800 and their experiences as they
came of age in the early nineteenth century. Drawing upon this
research, she recently edited Recollections of the Early Republic:
Selected Autobiographies from Northeastern University Press, 1997.
In 2000, Harvard University Press published her study of early
nineteenth-century America, Inheriting the Revolution: the First
Generation of Americans.
Appleby’s presidential biography of
Thomas Jefferson appeared in 2003, in the Henry Holt presidential
series
Appleby’s lecture is part of the
2004-2005 Couper Scholars Program, sponsored by Phi Beta Kappa Honor
Society. This is the first time Johnson C. Smith
University has been selected to host a Couper Scholars Program
lecture. Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1776 at the
College of William and Mary. Since then, Phi Bet Kappa
has evolved to become the nation’s leading advocate for the
liberal arts and sciences at the undergraduate level.
Phi Bet Kappa elects over 15,000 new members a year from 270
chapters across the United States.
