History


Biography

After receiving his B.A., Brian Lloyd pursued a career as a rock'n'roll songwriter and musician. The tedium of working low rent night clubs and minimum wage day jobs eventually brought him to his senses, whereupon he returned to academia for graduate studies at the University of Michigan. He earned his Ph.D. in American Culture in 1991. Lloyd specializes in twentieth century cultural and intellectual history, the history of American Marxism in particular. He is currenly working on a study of the ideas and strategies of the post-1968 American left.
