Jessica.M.Chapman@williams.edu Jessica Chapman specializes in the United States relations with the wider world, with particular research emphases on Modern Vietnam, French decolonization, and the Cold War. Her teaching interests cover the broad scope of U.S. relations with the outside world from the foundation of the republic to the present day, including the relationship between domestic affairs and foreign policy. She received her Ph.D. in 2006 from the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she wrote a dissertation under the supervision of Fredrik Logevall (Cornell). Her current project is to revise the dissertation, entitled Debating the Will of Heaven: South Vietnamese Politics and Nationalism, 1953-1956,¯ into a book manuscript for publication. This is a contribution to the type of international history that has generated much discussion and debate within the field traditionally identified as U.S. diplomatic history or U.S. foreign relations. The field has changed substantially over the past 10-15 years, particularly by integrating cultural factors into the study of foreign relations and by focusing on international topics that can only be understood fully by using transnational/multi-national/multi-archival approaches to research. Thanks to generous grants from a number of sources, including the Institute for International Education, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the Society for American Foreign Relations, the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, the Pacific Rim Research Program, and the University of California, Jessica has been able to join this effort by conducting extensive research in Vietnamese, French, and American archives.
