This class is taught in English.

Upon completion of this class students will have: a working knowledge of the causes, effects, resolution, and American life during the Great Depression, they will understand the story of professional boxer James J. Braddock and his experience during the Great Depression, and they will examine the basic economic factors that impacted the Depression.

I have a passion for history! Hold a BA in History with a minor in Government and Political Science, and am completing an MA in International Relations. My current research interests include 19th and 20th century American labor history, and my undergraduate thesis examined the Communist Party of the United States in the Great Depression. 

All information and lectures are delivered in a non-partisan manner without favor given to any one political person, group, or entity. I have experience teaching High School students in both virtual and in-person settings, and have worked in professional environments in which public relations and neutrality are paramount. Likewise, I have previously taught sensitive subjects such as war, and the Holocaust to Middle and High School students. 

I find this period of American History to be very important and fascinating, and I look forward to teaching students more about it!
