He is professor emeritus at Miami University (Ohio) and founder and managing partner of Oxford Coffee Company, a roastery and coffeehouse. His most recent publications have been on coffee (Coffee: From Bean to Barista, Coffee: A Comprehensive Guide to the Bean, the Beverage, and the Industry). Perhaps primarily known for his work on the history of Russia and the Soviet Union, Thurston has also written on early modern witch hunts (The Witch Hunts in Europe and North America: A History of the Witch Persecutions in Europe and North America, a revised edition of Witch, Wicce, Mother Goose: The Rise and Fall of the Witch Hunts in Europe and North America).[2] He is also co-founder and managing partner of the Oxford Coffee Company, a roastery and coffeehouse in Oxford, Ohio.[3]
He has given talks in recent years in the U.S., Britain, France, Nicaragua, and China on coffee and consumption patterns. He has been interviewed regularly on coffee, for example for BBC 4, the Food Network, and Dr. Oz The Good Life. His trips to coffee "origin," the industry term for coffee farms, have taken him to ten countries. He has been interviewed several times on WVXU, Cincinnati's NPR station, on several topics ranging from populism to coffee to the history of land preservation in the U.S. Podcasts with him are discussions of lynching and the witch hunts and film.
He has written occasionally on current issues in Ukraine and on how people get their history from romance novels.
His latest book, forthcoming from Routledge in early 2022, is The Body in the Anglo-Saxon World, 1880-1920: "Well Sexed Womanhood," "Finer Natives," and "Very White Men." The book examines concepts of gender, sexuality, race, and civilization as they were affected by new ideas, close interaction between races, and new technology like photography. presentations of the body changed and spread throughout the English speaking lands and colonies in photos, on the safety bicycles, in new or revamped sports, and in the circus.
His current writing project is "Eight Weeks that Established Federal Power: War, Rebellion, and Guns in 1794.
Born in Washington, D.C., Thurston graduated from high school outside of Cleveland and received his undergraduate education at Northwestern University,[3] studying Russian to complement his history degree. He went on to earn a doctorate in modern Russian history from the University of Michigan. He spent two separate years doing research in the Soviet Union/Russia and eventually moved to Oxford, Ohio, where he taught history at Miami University for 25 years until his retirement in 2015.[3]
