Biography
I am an associate professor of Holocaust & genocide studies at UNC Charlotte (http://gias.uncc.edu/). I taught at Florida Gulf Coast University from 2006-2011.
I completed my Ph.D. in History at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 2005, although my humble accomplishment was overshadowed by our national championship that year.
I earned my M.A. at Brandeis University in 1998, and attended Appalachian State as an undergraduate.
