Teaching repertoire
Europe and the Modern World (HIST113) - an entry level course on Europe and its global engagements since the wars of religion

Modern Europe (HSTEU303) - upper division survey of major problems, events, ideas, and themes in the history of Europe since 1789
French Revolution (HSTEU422) - At its core, this course is about the French Revolution from the twilight of the old regime to the defeat of Napoléon. However, the Revolution’s impact extended well beyond Europe. It prompted slave revolt in the Caribbean, weakened the hold of Europe on Latin America, and shook the status quo in Russia, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Paris and Rome: Revolution and Empire - a study abroad opportunity in France and Italy. The program features lectures, discussions, and site visits to explore the history of Paris and Rome with special emphasis on the French Revolution, the Terror, and French imperial expansion under Napoleon Bonaparte. We take a particular interest in the use of the Italian ‘sister republics’ (especially Rome and Naples) as a form of cooptation and we study the use of revolutionary ideology as a cover for imperial expansion.
Revolutionary and Napoleonic Italy - A special undergraduate research program offered in Italy. Revolutionary and Napoleonic Italy is a program designed to explore the impact of the Revolution beyond French territory, treating Italy as a case study. The program includes class meetings and site visits around Rome and central and southern Italy.

Special Topics in European History (HSTEU590) - a graduate reading course on special themes, usually offered at graduate student request.
Historical Practices (HIST595) - The production of historical knowledge is driven by asking new questions that either identify new problems or expose existing scholarship as limited and incomplete. Historical scholarship is also driven by rapid developments in the relationship between historians and their audiences. This course asks students to read works that encourage the rethinking of sources and their possible historical meaning and to experiment with sources, methods, and theoretical insights by means of a set of practical assignments. Course meetings alternate between the discussion of works of theoretical/practical interest and the presentation of brief research assignments produced by members of the seminar. Taught autumn quarter in alternating years.
Directed Reading (HIST600) - directed readings are typically organized to flesh out work begun in a graduate field course or special topics course (HSTEU590). A statement of guidelines and expectations is available here 
Dissertation (HIST800) - limited to students writing a dissertation under my supervision. A statement of guidelines and expectations is available here
