Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Fenrich is an instructor and historian specializing in Cold War propaganda and the intersection of the American space program and civil rights, currently teaching US history at Utah Valley University. With a Ph.D. in Cold War history from UC Santa Barbara and over a decade of teaching experience across universities, he brings deep archival research and classroom-tested scholarship to undergraduate and graduate audiences. His forthcoming book, The Color of NASA, draws on dissertation research to reveal how Black activists leveraged the space program for educational access and social inclusion—reframing the space race as a site of contested national narratives. He also has a background in ethics education for engineers and real-world experience in market research and sales, which informs his interdisciplinary approach to history. Based in Clearfield, Utah, Eric blends rigorous historical methods with public-facing writing and teaching to make complex Cold War topics accessible and relevant. An unexpected thread in his career is long-standing practical experience in business and consumer interviewing, giving him a practitioner's lens on how ideas are sold and received.
