Professor of Historical Studies

One of the main highlights of teaching during the pandemic was having two BardBac students in my course “How to Read and Write the History of the (Post) Colonial World.” They were brilliant. Although modest at first about estimating their academic strengths, within two weeks they each claimed for themselves a central place in class discussions, raising the intellectual bar for everyone, including myself.
