Faculty
In addition to their teaching, the history faculty are active scholars who bring their love of doing history
into the classroom. Our books, articles, papers, and talks have appeared
in a variety of venues and presses as you can see from the sample below..
What does this mean for our students? We like to have our students
"do history," as you can see here.
Once a year we offer intensive classes limited to history majors for the purpose
of exploring an area in depth. Students learn about ongoing and recent debates. They can see firsthand
how, why, and where historians work. Other scholars know who we are
so our letters of recommendation carry more weight. In short,
we know what we are talking about.
