Tim Lacy is Director of Medical Student Learning Environment in the University of Illinois College of Medicine. This is his day job, in student services. He teaches part-time for Loyola University Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago's Honors College.

He earned a doctorate in U.S. history from Loyola University Chicago, with specialties in cultural and intellectual history, as well as the history of education. That work resulted in a book, The Dream of a Democratic Culture: Mortimer J. Adler and the Great Books Idea (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013). Lacy co-founded both the U.S. Intellectual History Blog and the Society for U.S. Intellectual History. Articles by him have appeared in the Journal of the History of Ideas, American Catholic Studies, The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, U.S. Catholic Historian, and various encyclopedias. Lacy is working on a book manuscript on ‘great books cosmopolitanism’ and hoping to get rolling on a book project on anti-intellectualism and ignorance in post-WWII America.
