One of the “historical sources” I’m studying.
I, and a group form my church are heading out to Santiago Zamora, Guatemala, to do some repair/paint work on a school there. This post is mostly a test to see if I can get photos and text to appear here through email…
I’kll be out for 8 or 9 days, doing work, hiking a volcano, and probably buying a new straw hat and machete…
I'm a historian and writer and have taught at Mott Community College in Flint, Michigan since 2006. At Mott, I cover US, World, East Asian, American Military, and Medieval European history as well as serving as a faculty technology consultant in our Professional Development office.
My first book, Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist: Contact Tales since the 1950s was published in May 2013 by McFarland Books.
I also recently wrote the introduction to Posthuman Blues: Dispatches From a World on the Cusp of Terminal Dissolution, a collection of writings by the late Mac Tonnies edited by Paul Kimball for Redstar Books, as well as a chapter in Gillian I. Leitch's Doctor Who In Time and Space which analyzes fan expectations and reactions to both the 1996 Fox tele-movie and the 2005 revival's premier episode.
Next up is The Chaos Conundrum, a collection of essays published by Redstar Books, coming later this year.
