Kevin Vincent Mulcahy (March 26, 1945 – July 1, 2023) was an American political scientist who was the Sheldon Beychok Distinguished Professor of Political Science Emeritus at Louisiana State University. He was on the faculty from 1980–2020.
Background
Before joining the faculty at Louisiana State University in 1980, Mulcahy taught at University of Colorado (Visiting Lecturer, 1973), Queens College-CUNY (Instructor, 1973–1976), Mills College (Assistant Professor, 1976–1977), and Claremont McKenna College (Assistant Professor, 1977–1980). At Louisiana State University, Mulcahy was: Assistant Professor (1980–1985), Associate Professor (1985–1992), Professor (1992–2003), and Distinguished Professor (2003–2020).
Scholarship
After early publications on American foreign policy coauthored with his senior colleague Cecil Crabb, Mulcahy developed the study of cultural politics within the general framework of public policy and administration. “Cultural policy is an area of public policy-making that governs activities related to the arts and culture. The idea of Cultural Policy was created by Dr. Kevin V. Mulcahy." “His research focuses on a comparative analysis of cultural policies in international perspective including issues related to the identity of indigenous peoples and minorities. He critiques the heavily-privatized American system of cultural patronage and the impact of American cultural imperialism on other nations’ development.”
Mulcahy provides a “welcomed departure from approaches which understand the domain of ‘cultural policy’ as only those government documents or state-supported initiatives with an explicit cultural remit”. “As Kevin Mulcahy observed, cultural policy encompasses a much broader array of activities than were addressed under arts policy. The significance of the transformation of cultural policy can be observed in its demonstrable emphases on cultural identity, valorization of indigeneity and analyses of historical dynamics (such as hegemony and colonialism).”
He has published seven books and ninety articles/book chapters.
