I received a B.A. with Honors in
History from Le Moyne College in 1967 and a Ph.D. in History from
the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs of Syracuse
University in 1973. At the latter institution I was a National Defense
Fellow.
For thirty-three years I have taught
modern European and Latin American history at Le Moyne College and
briefly as a visiting professor at Syracuse University. My elective
courses include Hitler's Germany, The Holocaust in History, The
Cold War, World War II, and individual courses on Brazil, Mexico,
and the "Southern Cone" countries of Argentina and Chile.
I have taught either Western Civilization
or World Civilizations during each of my thirty-three years in teaching.
I served as Chair of the Department of History for seven years,
Director of the Honors Program for two years, Chair of the Committee
on Rank and Tenure for Three Years, and President of the Association
of Teaching Faculty for two years.
I am currently Director of Le Moyne
College Elderhostel and am a Past President of the New York State
Association of European Historians.
My publications include, as sole
author, July 1914: The Long Debate, 1918-1990 (1991); as
co-author with Edward H. Judge, A Hard and Bitter Peace: A Global
History of the Cold War (1996); as co-editor with Judge, The
Cold War: A History Through Documents (\1999); and as co-author
with Barnett Singer, Cultured Force: Builders and Defenders of
France's Colonial Empire (2004). I am currently collaborating
with Ed Judge on a textbook, A Concise Historyof World Civilizations.
My future scholarly agenda
includes collaboration with Judge on a book on the Khrushchev Era.
I am a life member of the Society
for French Historical Studies and a member of the Societe d'Histoire
Moderne, the American Committee on the History of the Second World
War, the Conference Group on Central European History, the German
Studies Association, and the Joint Committee on Professional Development
of the Central New York Council on the Social Studies.
