Michael Koncewicz
I am the Michael Nash Research Scholar & Ewen Center Program Coordinator for NYU Special Collections at New York University. I work at the Tamiment Library & Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, one of the more renowned archives that focuses on labor, radicalism, and a wide range of American and global progressive social movements. I previously worked for the National Archives at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum where I contributed to the museum’s nonpartisan Watergate exhibit.
My book They Said ‘No’ to Nixon: Republicans Who Stood Up to the President’s Abuses of Power was published by University of California Press in 2018. Culling from previously unpublished excerpts from the tapes and recently released materials that expose the thirty-seventh president’s uncensored views, Michael Koncewicz reveals how Republican party members remained loyal civil servants in the face of Nixon’s attempts to expand the imperial presidency.
Kirkus described the book as “Brief but scholarly in all the right ways—and excruciatingly timely.” My work has appeared on CNN, and in The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post.
I received my PhD in History from the University of California Irvine in 2014, and I have taught US History and public history courses at New York University, the New York City College of Technology, St. Francis College, and Wagner College.
My next research project will focus on the rise and fall of the Moratorium to End the Vietnam War. Aside from focusing on the organizers who created the Vietnam Moratorium Committee, the book will look at how the campaign shaped antiwar protests across the United States. The Moratorium mobilized millions of Americans and was a crucial flash-point for liberal-left politics during the Vietnam-era.
