I have had the privilege of teaching not only a wide range of courses, but also of teaching and interacting with a wide range of students. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, and have learned a great deal from my students over the years. I regularly teach more traditional undergraduates, but also teach beyond the campus in and around the surrounding communities as often as I am able. I have taught a number of community-sponsored courses, some of which are listed below as “mini-courses,” and have had the opportunity to teach numerous classes to a variety of prison populations. My varied teaching experience has only strengthened my initial conviction that history matters, and that teaching it as far and as wide as possible is something I have an obligation to do.
