Meet the Instructor....

Where you know me from…

I’m an Associate Professor in the Department of History. I teach courses in Eastern European History, the history of technology, the history of WWI, and nationalism studies. I also serve as the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of History. 

When you visit my office…

When you come to see me in my office, you’ll see a lot of books, some posters, and maps on the walls, and a great view of the Wakarusa River Valley to the south. More importantly, we’ll have the chance to talk about the class and your studies. 

You may be surprised to know…

You might notice a bike in my office. I'm a dedicated cyclist, enjoying riding not only for commuting but also for exercise, adventure, and community. I ride on roads, gravel, and mountain bike trails in the area. Also, I am an avid birder. I love being outdoors and would be happy to share tips on places where you can experience nature in and around Lawrence.
