  • HIS 371 and HIS 537 are both courses on Medieval European history. This subject was a subfield throughout my graduate training and at present my research delves deep into the Medieval past in order to explain developments well through the Modern period. HIS 265 is a survey of World History to c.1500. As with the two aforementioned courses, it is one I have now taught a few times and received excellent student evaluations on each occasion. My courses are consistently ranked in the top 30% according to the IDEA national database.
