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. Links
