Mary Kathryn Barbier
Mary Kathryn Barbier received her Ph.D. from the University of Southern Mississippi in December 1998. After teaching as an adjunct professor for a year and a half, she received a two-year postdoctoral fellowship from International Security Studies at Yale University. While at Yale, she attended numerous lectures, conducted research, and taught two junior seminars. The titles of the courses were "Intelligence Gathering in the Twentieth Century" and "World War II and the Arts." Barbier also worked on two popular books. The first, Kursk: the Greatest Tank Battle Ever Fought 1943, has also been published in five other languages. The second, Strategy and Tactics: Infantry Warfare: The Theory and Practice of Infantry Combat in the 20th Century, was a collaborative effort with Andrew Wiest. The fellowship ended in the summer of 2002. That summer she attended a three week seminar at West Point before starting an appointment at the University of Guelph, where she taught the US history survey and a War & Society course, revised an article, "George C. Marshall and the 1940 Louisiana Maneuvers," which was published Louisiana History in 2003, presented papers at the Society for Military History and SHAFR conferences, and submitted brief articles for the Encyclopedia of Intelligence & Counterintelligence. Since accepting the position as an Assistant Professor at Mississippi State University, she has written a brief history of the US Army for fifth graders, which was published in 2005. She also had two articles published, has a chapter in Normandy 1944: Sixty Years On, which was published in June 2006, and has began preliminary work on a short military biography of Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery. In December 2005, Barbier gave a lecture, "The United States and Asia," in a workshop for the Philadelphia-Newton County schools as part of the Mississippi Connections Program. In June 2006 she gave a series of lectures in a week-long World War II workshop for the Philadelphia-Newton County schools as part of the Mississippi Connections Program. In addition to continuing her work on Montgomery, Barbier has evaluated articles and books for several journals and presses. Barbier's book, D-Day Deception: Operation Fortitude and the Normandy Invasion was published in November 2007. In cooperation with the Center for Historical Studies and the Mississippi National Guard, Barbier has organized a Global War on Terror Oral History Project.
