The U.S. citizenship test – which immigrants must pass before becoming citizens of the United States – has this question: “Name one problem that led to the Civil War.”
“Corruption costs the world between $2.5 and 3.5 trillion dollars every year and also creates obstacles that prevent effective responses to urgent public problems, such as environmental protection and the reduction of different forms of inequality. And yet historians rarely focus directly on the history of corruption and anticorruption. This is beginning to change, in part due to European Union support for academic research on the history of corruption and anticorruption. My research contributes to this exciting new trend in historical studies.”

“From the plateaus, prairies, and peaks to the gold-domed Colorado State Capitol, I seek to understand ways in which the community of Colorado endures and thrives, as well as its connections to the West, the United States, and the wider world. Colorado might be a perplexing creation of political geometry, but in understanding the stories that have unfolded in our own backyards, we can begin to appreciate how those tales impact our lives every day in the Centennial State and the reverberations of Colorado’s past on its present and future in our own immediate experiences.”

“I study a time and place when epidemic illness, military violence, and unstable weather patterns disrupted the lives of millions of people. In a few short decades, these people had to adapt their city buildings, family structures, religious practice, and even food choices to survive. My research into 14th-century Provence reveals dynamic communities using creative methods to survive disease, attack, flood, and drought. My work dispels the tired clichés of feudalism, the “Church”, and general ignorance. Historical research in general can help us move away from judgment of other cultures so that we can learn from every historical moment.”
