Joseph "Joe" P. Ward is an American Historian and author who currently serves as dean of The College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Utah State University.

Biography

Joseph Ward grew up in Southern New England, seeing massive upheaval from the loss of manufacturing jobs, a change he later credited for his interest in history [1]. Ward earned his Bachelor of Arts in history at University of Chicago and received a masters and a doctorate in history from Stanford University. [2] A specialist in the society and culture of England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Ward has published more than a dozen journal articles and book chapters, and he is an author or editor of eight books, including Culture, Faith, and Philanthropy: Londoners and Provincial Reform in Early Modern England[3] and (with Robert O. Bucholz) London: A Social and Cultural History 1550-1750[4]. In 2017 he was made[5] the head of the search committee for Utah State's next provost, a position previously held by current president Noelle E. Cockett. That search eventually led to hiring of Frank Galey[6][7].
