Victor McFarland
I'm a third-year PhD student focusing on U.S. foreign policy in the Arab world. I grew up in North Idaho and received my B.A. in History from Stanford in 2006, with minors in Political Science and Middle Eastern Languages. At Yale, my orals fields include the history of American foreign relations with John Lewis Gaddis, U.S. history after the Civil War with Beverly Gage, and the 20th century Middle East with Abbas Amanat. I'm particularly interested in the 1973 oil crisis and the ways in which it reshaped the relationship between the United States and the Arab world.
