Evan Sullivan
- Assistant professor of History
"I enjoy helping students understand the historical roots of contemporary problems. In the process my hope is that students can understand that history is not just a set of unchanging facts and figures, and that once they master those facts then they know history and can move on. Instead, it is a way of thinking and understanding the past and the present critically — understanding points of connection — so as to better approach the world in which we live today."
