Teaching
Eckerd College is a small, private four-year liberal arts college nestled directly on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico in St. Petersburg, Florida. It boasts a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and is featured in Loren Pope's influential Colleges that Change Lives.
I teach a number of courses at Eckerd College on a regular rotation. Those include:
Inside Nazi Germany
World War II
Sex and Power in European Thought
European Environmental History
Writing About: Sports and Culture
Animals in Modern Europe
20th Century World History
Freud and the Modern Imagination (first-year Autumn Term course)
Imagined Futures: Studying Utopias and Dystopias in History
War on Film
The Eckerd College History Project
I have also been a regular participant in Eckerd's general education program, teaching both in the core courses for first-year students and the senior capstone course. I served as associate dean of faculty for general education between 2016 and 2019. I was given the Robert A. Staub Distinguished Teacher Award at Eckerd in 2010.
