Dr. James B. McSwain received his Ph.D. from Memphis State University in 1986. Current research on the risk management of petroleum addresses how four Gulf South municipalities—Houston, Galveston, New Orleans and Mobile—used their police powers to devise public policies to regulate the storage and distribution of fuel oil, 1901-2012. He is currently completing a book manuscript on this topic under a contract from Louisiana State University Press.
