| About Dr. Pinheiro |
| |
| |
|
Prior to joining the Aquinas faculty, Dr. Pinheiro served as assistant editor of the "Presidential Series" of the "Papers of George Washington" at the University of Virginia. He co-edited volume 12 of the "Presidential Series." Along with his co-editor, Dr. Pinheiro presented volume 12 to President Bush in an Oval Office ceremony in April 2005 (only the third time since 1950 that a president has thus honored an individual documentary volume). |
| |
|
Dr. Pinheiro's publications include several articles on George Washington and on the early American republic. He has also written for the History News Service, lectured for the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies and the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, and he has appeared on National Public Radio and CSPAN. He hosts the program, "Past is Prologue," every Wednesday at 11:00 AM on WPRR 1680 AM in Grand Rapids. Dr. Pinheiro is available for speaking engagements on George Washington, the American Founding period, and the history surrounding the Mexican War. |
| |
|
Dr. Pinheiro is the author most recently of the book, "Manifest Ambition: James K. Polk and Civil-Military Relations during the Mexican War," published in 2007. He currently is completing a book manuscript analyzing the interplay among republican principles and expansionist sentiment in mid-nineteenth-century America. |
| |
|
Dr. Pinheiro's scholarly interests include evolving American views on republican citizenship, federal and state power, and liberty; anti-Catholic nativism; the Mexican War; and the development of American identity during the early republic. He is the consulting editor for the presidency of James K. Polk for the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. His non-scholarly interests include soccer, Tennessee football, imperial stout, and traveling with his wife, Cassandra. |
