History Department News: 

The History Department is proud to announce that it has concluded its search for an early American historian by hiring Dr. Suzanne Cooper-Guasco.  Dr. Cooper-Guasco recently earned her Ph.D. from the College of William and Mary in American History.  Her dissertation is a penetrating biography of Edward Coles entitled, "Confronting Democracy:  Edward Coles and the Cultivation of the Authority in the Young Republic."  Her areas of specialization include Revolutionary War and Early National America and Latin America.  

This past year Dr. Cooper-Guasco has been teaching as a visiting adjunct instructor at Davidson College.  

In the fall Dr. Cooper-Guasco will be teaching in the Core program and History 203:  American History to 1877. 


The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded Dr. Henry  Kamerling an appointment as a "Visiting Scholar" for a summer seminar on "Punishment, Politics, and Crime."  The six week seminar will be conducted by Dr. Austin Sarat, Chair pf the Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought program at Amherst College, Massachusetts.  The seminar draws on a variety of disciplines to examine the nature and limits of punishment as well as its place in politics and culture. Using a wide range of material--recent scholarship as well as classics in the sociological, historical, and philosophical treatment of punishment--the seminar will address questions about punishment that go to the heart of humanistic inquiry.
