Historical Methods & Historiography

My teaching examines how everyday people—from China to Palestine to Haiti—both experienced and influenced the world we live in today. I help students grasp the contradictions that define our modern era: how liberty coexisted with slavery, progress with destruction, and equality with oppression. Rather than asking students to memorize facts, I focus on helping them understand the broader themes and concepts that shape our world.
