- Short Biography
I am a mid-career, associate professor of History at Indiana University, where I have taught for twenty years, after a three-year stint at Southwest Texas State University. I have been involved in the scholarship of teaching and learning for the past eight years and I also teach in our graduate pedagogy program.
- Long Biography
I am an associate professor of history at Indiana University, Bloomington, specializing in the history of medieval Europe. My disciplinary research considers medieval historical writing. I have published a monograph on historical writing in Normandy in the central Middle Ages and a translation of the History of the Counts of Guines and Lords of Ardres, an early thirteenth-century dynastic history from the Artois. I am currently working on an edition, translation, and study of the Chronicon Andrense, from the same region of France. My involvement with SoTL began with a course portfolio for the Peer Review of Teaching project. I have been a fellow of the Freshman Learning Project, which produced the material for a joint article in Decoding the Disciplines: helping Students Learn Disciplinary Ways of Thinking (New Directions in Teaching and Learning, Summer 2004), written with David Pace and Valerie Grim. With Vicky Gunn, I wrote “Doing SotL: A Cross Atlantic Dialogue Reflecting upon the Nature of Teaching and Learning in Medieval Studies,” which has appeared in Arts and Humanities in Higher Education. I am currently a principal investigator (with Arlene Diaz, Joan Middendorf, and David Pace) in the Indiana University History Department Study of Student Learning in History. We have recently published an article in the Journal of American History, "The History Learning Project: A Department "Decodes" its Students."
