Hi,
This semester, I'm visiting
resident scholar at the Annenberg School for
Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, where
I am also a research associate at the McNeil
Center for Early American Studies, but I'll
be back to UH
in the Spring of 2010, at which time I will teach a survey of American
History to 1865 (Hist 281) and Native American History (Hist 460).
I do not have syllabi ready yet, but will post them here as
the semester approaches.
If you are curious,
That's it for now!
Rich Rath
