Sarah Robey
Idaho State University, professor
Sarah Robey is Assistant Professor in the History of Energy at Idaho State University, and co-host of Duck and Cover Podcast.
Her current book project, Atomic Americans: Citizens in a Nuclear State, examines how the threat of nuclear war changed American ideas about participatory democracy, the role of the state, and civic responsibility during the early Cold War (Cornell University Press, forthcoming). Robey will have a chapter on industry-sponsored science education films included in the upcoming collection, American Energy Cinema (University of West Virginia Press, forthcoming). She has also published several articles on nuclear history and technology in Strategic Visions and the Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia, and most recently published a dual book review in Nature.
In addition to co-hosting and co-creating the Duck and Cover Podcast, Robey is the co-founder of the Network for Civil Defense History, an international working group that has won grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences.
Robey earned her PhD in History from Temple University in 2017. During her graduate work, she was a Predoctoral Fellowship at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History; the Allen F. Davis Fellowship in Public History at the Philadelphia History Museum; and the Ambrose Monell Fellow in Technology and Democracy at the Miller Center at the University of Virginia.

Anthony Eames
Georgetown University, Ph.D. student
Anthony Eames is co-host of Duck and Cover and the Davis teaching fellow at Georgetown University and an adjunct professor at George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs, where he teaches on the history and theory of technology.
His monograph Morally Assured Destruction: American and British Morality and Nuclear Politics in the Late Cold War reveals how public debates about nuclear weapons produced different moral attitudes for conservatives, liberals, and radicals. His other writing explores how science and technology bridge domestic and international politics and can be found in publications such as the Journal of Military History, War on the Rocks, Mediterranean Quarterly, and Technology & Culture (2020).
Eames will earn his Ph.D. from Georgetown in January 2020 and has a jointly conferred MA from King’s College London and Georgetown. The Harry S. Truman Good Neighbor Foundation and the American Institute of Physics are among the organizations that have funded his research. His next project explores the cultural history of the laser – maybe he’ll make a podcast for that too!
