John Joseph (academic)

John Joseph (academic)

John Joseph (born ) is an American educator and historian who taught courses on the history of the Middle East and its relationship with the West at Franklin & Marshall College (F&M) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania from 1961 to 1988.

The son of religious refugees from the turmoil created by World War I in pre-Iran Persia, John Joseph attended the American School for Boys in Baghdad. Pennsylvania missionary Calvin Staudt who, with his wife Ida, founded the school, occasionally sent students to his alma mater, F&M. Joseph arrived in 1946, received his degree from F&M in 1950, and subsequently earned a Ph.D from Princeton University. In his long teaching career at F&M, he inspired many students, including business executive Andrew Schindler, class of '72, who contributed the leading sum for the construction of the Joseph International Center at F&M, dedicated to the study of the world's languages, culture, history and politics. Following his retirement from full-time teaching, John Joseph has held the title of Lewis Audenreid Professor Emeritus of History.
