*Steven J. Ross is Professor of History at USC. The first person in his family to go to college, Steve received his B.A. from Columbia University, a Bachelor of Philosophy from Oxford University, and a Ph.D. from Princeton University. Professor Ross has written extensively in the areas of working-class history, social history, film history, and political history. Steve’s most recent book, Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History for 2018 and has been on the Los Angeles Times Bestsellers list for over 13 weeks.

Ross’ op-ed pieces have appeared in numerous well-known, large-scale publications and his work on movie stars and politics has led to appearances on various television shows, including programs broadcast on Canadian, British, French, Swiss, German, and Australian television — as well as numerous documentaries about Hollywood.

He is also the co-founder and former co-director of the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities at USC.
