About Me

Greetings!!! My name is Shawn Driscoll. I am a Doctoral student in the Global Studies Program at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. I am also an adjunct instructor at UMass Lowell in the History and Political Science Departments. My teaching philosophy embraces a multi-media approach and cultural focus. In teaching both history and political science, I use popular culture and media, both primary and secondary source based, in my teaching approach and in my individual classes.

My topical focus includes twentieth century American history, politics, presidential history, global popular culture and specifically the use of television and film in exploring the humanities and social science. I reside in Worcester Massachusetts and have published books on the 1918 Influenza Pandemic (The Grip, 2020, Dutcher and Ellsworth) and Nightlife in Cambridge Massachusetts (We Are But Your Children: An Oral History of the Nightclub ManRay, 2022, Quidnet Press) and my most recent publication “Prime Time Vet: Evolution of the Vietnam Veteran on Television.” 2022, PopMeC Research B
