I teach U.S. History courses, and occasionally Western Civilization courses, at NOVA. My course offerings include:
U.S. History I (HIS 121)
U.S. History II (HIS 122)
Western Civilization II (HIS 102)
World Civilizations II (HIS 112)
I also teach courses online through NOVA’s Extended Learning Institute:
U.S. History I (HIS 121)
History of Virginia I (HIS 281)
In addition to my courses, I have contributed to the Teaching United States History Blog, and served as a contributor and chapter editor to American Yawp, the free, online U.S. history textbook.
I came to NOVA in 2015, after teaching at Washington University in St. Louis, where I earned my Ph.D. in 2013. NOVA’s campus is diverse and dynamic, its students inquisitive and driven, its faculty passionate and brilliant. In short, it is a fabulous place to learn.
