Welcome!

Good Students – – I am glad you are here at PCC and I hope you will take advantage of the many resources PCC has available to support you!

I am in love with history – – the issues it raises, the questions it explores, and the many interesting varieties of complex societies the world has developed.  I started in Western Civ and continue to find it fascinating, but more recently I have mainly been teaching Asian History.  Knowing the two trajectories of history has made me a better teacher and given me better understanding of the world.  I’d love to share some of what I have learned with you and support you as you learn more about it for yourself!  Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can support you in any way.

Fun book I’ve written:  Ask the Ancients:  Astonishing Advice for Daily Dilemmas

I was the speaker for PCC’s 50th year graduation ceremony:  listen to my speech (June 2012):

Note:  I am a Faculty Department Chair so I only teach two classes per term.
