Dr. James M. Glass received his
PhD in political science from the University of California at Berkeley in
1970. He is the recipient of the University’s Distinguished
Scholar Teacher Award (2002-2003), and in 2004 the Outstanding Faculty in
the State of Maryland Award, given by the Maryland Association for Higher
Education.
He is the author of six books
and dozens of articles and book chapters. His most recent research
has been into the Holocaust; his book, ‘Life Unworthy of Life’:
Racial Phobia and Mass Murder in Hitler’s Germany (1997), analyzed
the psychological dynamics behind Germany’s genocide of the
Jews, particularly the links between the German professions and the moral
and ethical acceptance of mass murder.
His most recent book, 'Jewish
Resistance During the Holocaust': Moral Uses of Violence and Will (2004),
examines the forces behind Jewish resistance to the German assault and
their collaborators. It includes extensive interviews with resistance
survivors, and a discussion of critical ethical issues that arise from
resistance assumptions and perspectives.
Professor Glass has taught and
published in the areas of political psychology, international ethics,
political theory and philosophy; he has been invited to deliver numerous
lectures on his research both nationally and abroad.
