I fell in love with the peoples and cultures of northeastern Europe after I had the good fortune as a student to live and study for extended periods of time in Russia, Finland, and Estonia. It was my interest in languages perhaps that drew me towards learning how the differing linguistic and ethnic groups which in the past have shared these areas as their homeland both cooperated and struggled over the nature of their multiethnic societies.
See MoreIn my teaching I try to show that the study of history is centered on a dynamic dialogue with the documents and artifacts the past has left us and with other historically-minded people as we search for the most fruitful approaches to understand past societies and eras. This search I believe prepares us better to face current social issues and problems.
