John W. Boyer (born October 17, 1946 in Chicago) is an American historian and academic administrator. He is currently the Dean of the College and the Martin A. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor of History at the University of Chicago.[1]

Teaching and research

Boyer was born in Chicago, Illinois. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1968 from Loyola University Chicago. He went on to earn a Master of Arts in 1969 and Ph.D in 1975 from the University of Chicago.[2] His field specialties include: Nineteenth- and twentieth-century European political and cultural history, Germany from 1740 to 1918, the Habsburg Monarchy between 1648 and 1918, religion and politics in modern European history, and history of the universities.

He has been a co-editor of The Journal of Modern History since 1980, alongside Jan E. Goldstein.[3] Boyer has received accolades from the Austrian government for his scholarly dedication: in 2004, he was awarded the Cross of Honor for Science and Art, First Class, in recognition of his work on the history of the Habsburg Empire; in 2006, he received the Austrian State Prize for Modern History.[4]

Administrative career

In addition to his teaching and research, Boyer has held a number of administrative positions at the University of Chicago. He has been the Chairman of the Council on Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences since 1986 and the Dean of the College since 1992,[5] the longest tenure of anyone in that position. In 1992-93, he also served as Acting Dean of the Social Sciences Division. Prior to that, he was the Master of the Social Sciences Collegiate Division and Deputy Dean of the Social Sciences Division from 1987 to 1992. Some of his notable accomplishments include strengthening alumni relations, increasing funding for faculty chairs and student scholarship funds, and increasing the diversity of each successive class.[6] He has also worked to get well-known scholars to teach undergraduate courses.[7] In 1993, that rate was 41% of tenured associate or full professors.[8] He noted that professors who teach in the Core received an additional $1,500 in 2006, adding that "it's really pretty small."[9]

Boyer has focused on the development of study abroad programs. He was deeply involved with the establishment of the University of Chicago Center in Paris, as well as many other programs and internships. As a result, study abroad rates have tripled since 1992.

On March 15, 2017, Boyer was reappointed to an unprecedented 6th term as the Dean of the College at the University of Chicago.[10]
