Marshall University Ph.D. in History African and African American 1995 West Virginia University Information on Courses Taught History is a bridge to the past, present and the future of the diverse and globalized world that we are now living.
History is a door of opportunity for understanding the past and the present.
Through the study of history we become aware of, understand and learn to appreciate the cultures of others by walking in their shoes as we answer many questions. These and many other questions can be answered by studying history. History to me is a magnificent continuous journey to be shared when we encounter the various civilizations, people, places, cultures, and the role of women in society, all of which has impacted us. Teaching history provides the opportunity of introducing students to new ideas, voices and the use of multiple perspectives. These views will prepare them to become citizens of a more diverse and globalized world of the 21st century.
