• The successful applicant is asked to teach one or both of the following courses:

HS2410 The Middle Ages | Monday/Wednesday/Friday 1:30-2:50
This course will explore the history of the long and complex period in history known as the Middle Ages. Our goal will be to establish what, exactly, the Middle Ages were. This may sound simple, but it is a question that has vexed historians for generations. Was it one long coherent era from the fall of the Roman Empire in the to the Renaissance? Or a series of Early, High, and Late Middle Ages? These questions and more will lie at the heart of our investigation into the Middle Ages and what its history can teach us about the world we live in today.
Class Time: Tuesday and Thursday
HS 3990 The French Revolution | Tuesday and Thursday 10:10-12:05
The French Revolution has long been credited with inaugurating the modern era. In 1789, the French people rose up and overthrew their King and the feudal order he represented, and replaced him with a Republic founded on the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity. But these principles were not applied evenly, and disputes about who the Revolution represented – and who it did not – set revolutionaries against one another and against the assembled powers of Europe who wished to prevent its spread into their lands. In this class, we will study the origins, development, and ultimate downfall of the French Revolution at the hands of the populist general, Napoleon Bonaparte. And we will consider its legacy in the modern era and the many ideologies, political systems, and lasting injustices it left us with.
Potential exists for additional course opportunities in the Spring 2025 semester.
