Kevin Vincent Mulcahy is the Sheldon Beychok Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Public Administration at Louisiana State University, where he has taught since 1980.

Mulcahy earned master's degrees from both Brown University and Pennsylvania State University before completing his Ph.D. work at Brown. Before joining the faculty of Louisiana State University, Mulcahy taught at Claremont McKenna College, Mills College, Queens College-CUNY, and the University of Colorado. Since joining the faculty of Louisiana State University in 1981, Mulcahy has developed the study of Cultural Politics within the framework of Public Policy and Public Administration.

Mulcahy’s primary area of study focuses on cultural policy in the United States and abroad. Mulcahy has received an ATLAS (Award to Louisiana Artists and Scholars) grant for a new work tentatively titled Patronage, Politics and Cultural Policy: International Perspectives. The award committee enthusiastically endorsed his project, saying in part:

In his 1995 book, America’s Commitment to Culture, Dr. Mulcahy and co-editor Margaret J. Wyszomirski discuss the current state of arts funding in the U.S. and argue for a reorganization of the National Endowment for the Arts to include interdisciplinary panels for judging new grants in a system similar to that of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Prior to initiating his primary study of cultural policy, Mulcahy focused on American Foreign Policy, in the footsteps of his mentor Cecil V. Crabb. Mulcahy and Crabb coauthored two books on the subject: Presidents and Foreign Policy Making: FDR to Reagan (1986) and American National Security: A Presidential Perspective (1990).

In 2002, Dr. Mulcahy was selected as the Fulbright Distinguished Professor of American Studies (The Laszlo Orszagh Chair) at the Budapest University of Economic Sciences and Public Administration. The Fulbright Program is a merit-based grant program that encourages academic exchanges between the United States and foreign countries. More recently in 2009, Mulcahy served as the Fulbright Senior Specialist in Cluj, Transylvania, Romania at Babeș-Bolyai University. For the 2010-2011 award period, he was selected to serve on the review committee for the Fulbright Senior Specialist where he worked to select American scholars for international assignments.
