Thomas J. McCormick
Thomas J. McCormick (March 6, 1933 – July 25, 2020)[1] was an American academic who was emeritus professor of history at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the same place he got a Ph. D.[2] where he succeeded William Appleman Williams and continued the groundbreaking work of the so-called Wisconsin School of diplomatic history. Indeed he is considered one of the core members of the Wisconsin School, along with Williams, Walter LaFeber, and Lloyd Gardner.[3][4] He has used Immanuel Wallerstein's world-systems approach to describe the dynamics of hegemony in US diplomatic history[5] and also studied US corporatism.[6]
McCormick taught at the Ohio University, University of Pittsburgh, and University of Wisconsin–Madison where he won the Wisconsin Student Association Award for Teaching Excellence (1992-1993). He was a Woodrow Wilson Center Fellow (1981), Distinguished Fulbright Lecturer at University College Dublin (1993-1994), and Vilas Associate (1996-1998). McCormick authored six books (see Works) and many influential articles.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] He often gave US guest lectures[17][18][19][20] as well as several keynote addresses at worldwide conferences.[21][22][23][24]
On December 4, 2023, the University of Wisconsin–Madison Senate Faculty passed a memorial resolution[25] honoring the career and life of Professor Thomas J. McCormick.
