James Ikeda

PhD in World History

James Ikeda is a PhD candidate in World History at Northeastern University. His dissertation concerns the ‘afterlives’ of the US Third World Left from 1973 to 2003, specifically the various different ways American leftists of color understood their own national liberatory projects as part of a global liberatory project that blended antiracism with anticolonialism after the Vietnam War. He holds an MA in History (2022) and an M.Ed. in Learning and Instruction (2014) from Northeastern, as well as an MA in History from Tufts University (2017), and a BS in Social Studies Education from Boston University (2012).
