Margaret O'Mara is a historian of the modern United States whose work looks at
the growth of the knowledge economy and the reasons creativity and innovation
thrive in particular places. She is the author of Cities of Knowledge: Cold War
Science and the Search for the Next Silicon Valley (Princeton, 2005), which
explored how Silicon Valley came to be, why other U.S. regions did not become
Silicon Valley, and what the Cold War had to do with it. Her current research
includes a study of high-tech globalization and urban change in China, India,
and the United States. An Assistant Professor of History at the UW, she
previously taught at Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania, where she
received her PhD in 2002. From 1993 to 1997 she was a staff member to President
Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, handling policy issues including urban
economic development, health care, and welfare reform.
