The History Faculty at Augsburg College is an amazing group of teacher-scholars.
While most of you are familiar with our award-winning teaching, our work as scholars leads to richer classroom experiences, opportunities for student-faculty collaborations, and publications that benefit a range of audiences, both popular and scholarly.
Here are a few examples of how it impacts our students:
But that research does not come cheaply. For example:

Here are a few examples of how it impacts our students:
- Jacqueline deVries' research on the development of women's health care in the late 19th century benefited greatly from the research assistance of student Heidi Heller, who is now using portions of that research in her own honors thesis.
- Phil Adamo had students in his medieval church course read and critique his book on the medieval church in draft form. They made suggestions that eventually helped improve the final book. Two students, Aidan Nancarrow and Andrew Fox, even researched and created a primary source website for the book.
- Michael Lansing teaches his senior seminar about the Non-Partisan League, the topic of his forthcoming book. Students learn about this important political movement in history, while their insights have impacted Michael’s work on the topic.
But that research does not come cheaply. For example:
- Bill Green was asked to pay $1500 to create an index for his new book on civil rights during the second half of the nineteenth century.
- Maheen Zaman, a Ph.D. from Columbia and the newest member of our department, needs to travel to archives across Asia for research on his forthcoming book. Travel costs alone will run in excess of $5000.
- Phil Adamo’s publisher, the Pontifical Institute for Mediaeval Studies, asked for a subvention fee of $7000 to publish his book on medieval monks.
