Welcome to the Class Blog for History 103 (Foundations of American History).
For our first Blog post - to help you adjust to the technology - I'd like you to introduce yourself by telling the class five things about yourself. This can range from your major to your hobbies to random facts. One requirement: please do include your name!
5 Things
1.I did my graduate work at The College of William and Mary in Virginia
2.I specialize in nineteenth and twentieth century history and media studies; but, despite this, most of my teaching has been in the colonial and early national periods of American history (William and Mary sits next to Colonial Williamsburg)
3.I also have a strong interest in the way history is presented in popular films and have, in fact, taught a “History by Hollywood” seminar a number of times at The College of William and Mary and Temple University in Philadelphia.
4.I did my bachelor’s degree at the University of California at San Diego. I had a hard time picking a major so I ended up with History, and with minors in Literature and Political Science (and almost one in Third World Studies).
5.I’m a California native and I miss fish tacos in San Diego, Berkeley’s used bookstores, and the Pacific Ocean.
