Andrew D. Devenney
Andrew D. Devenney is a recent graduate of the CMU History Department's Joint Ph.D. program in Transnational and Comparative History. As part of the program, he has spent a year at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, and in 2004-2005 was at Dublin City University in Dublin, Ireland, as a Fulbright Fellow. He is spending the 2007-2008 academic year in residence in the Department's Center for Transnational and Comparative History as a postdoctoral research fellow.

Research and Teaching Interests
Dr. Devenney's wider research interests center on studying the political, economic, and social processes of European integration in a transnational and comparative perspective, with a current focus on domestic responses to European integration in the British Isles. He is currently working on a book manuscript, entitled European Integration and the British Isles: Becoming European in England, Scotland, and Ireland, 1961-1975, that is a revision of his doctoral dissertation.  Additionally, Dr. Devenney is currently in the preliminary stages of a new project on the spatial history of the European Union (EU), which is investigating how European political and economic integration has altered the use, function, organization, and meaning of physical and social spaces in Europe since 1945.

In Spring 2008, Dr. Devenney will be offering a course on modern British history (HST 351: Britain since 1689).
