Biography

For me, history is the record not only of how things change, but how people make things change, how they act individually and collectively to create a better world.^[3]

Stovall earned a degree in history from Harvard University in 1976. He earned a master's degree in 1978 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he also earned a doctorate in 1984 with a thesis that eventually was published as a book called The rise of the Paris Red Belt.^[4] He served as a high school teacher in 1978 before teaching at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, the University of California, Berkeley, and Ohio State University. He then served as a professor and Dean of Humanities for the University of California, Santa Cruz before returning to Berkeley.^[5] His last position was Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Fordham University.^[6]

Stovall's studies specialized in the history of French suburbs,^[7] urban immigration, and post-colonial and transnational history.^[8]
