Sean Parulian Harvey

George S. Ellsworth Editorial Fellow, 2011-2013

Sean Harvey was born in sunny southern California, but has lived the majority of his life in even more sunny Phoenix, Arizona. He received a BA in History and Political Science from the University of Arizona-Tucson in 2011. At the University of Arizona, he studied environmental and political history under scholars and knowers-of-all-things Katherine Morrissey, Michael Bonner and Jeremy Vetter. His historical interests broadly include the environmental history of North America, antebellum United States politics, and westward migration. For his Master’s thesis, he seeks to understand how nineteenth century settlers of the American West understood and perceived the rugged environment of the North American interior. When out of the clutches of his WHQ overlords, he enjoys hiking with his fiancée, road-trips, and impatiently awaiting the University of Arizona mens basketball team’s next national championship.
