He received a Ph.D. in American history from Yale University in early 2008. His research has been supported by the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University and the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. In 2006 he was awarded a Charlotte Newcombe Dissertation Writing Fellowship by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. Before entering Yale's graduate program, Anderson earned an M.A. in U.S. history from Indiana University, and he worked for several years as a writer and editor at The Polis Center, an Indiana University-affiliated research organization devoted to analyzing the community life of Indianapolis. He has also done freelance writing and editing for numerous individuals and organizations, and his articles and essays have appeared in several publications, including the Wilson Quarterly and the Indiana Magazine of History. He won the Indiana Historical Society's Dunn Award in 2005 for the best article in its publication, Traces. Anderson is currently working on two projects: an essay about the mingling of religion and politics in American conservatism and a revision of his dissertation into a book manuscript, provisionally titled God Haunted: The Grounding of Spiritual Politics and Practice in Modern America.
