Dan Murphy joined the Hanover College faculty in the fall of 1988 after earning his Ph.D. from Northwestern University. No stranger to Hanover College, Dan earned a BA here in 1981. In 1996 Dr. Nichols, President of Hanover College, enlisted Dan to be the Founding Director of the Center for Free Inquiry, a position he held until 1999 when he became an Associate Director in order to return to full-time teaching at the College. He currently serves CFI as Director and Program Director for the symposium series.
Dr. Murphy teaches many courses on American history and culture, and is currently exploring the cultural underpinnings of the debate over American intervention in the Second World War. Subsidiary products include interest in the symbolic resonance of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during the 1920s and 1930s, and the Gold Star Mothers Pilgrimages to Europe of 1930-1933.
