Most people don't associate an MIT math degree with history, but Isabella's minor in Ancient and Medieval Studies involved rigorous work with primary sources, historiographical debates, and constructing arguments from fragmentary evidence. She teaches students to read historical texts critically and write essays that do more than summarize — they analyze cause, context, and consequence.

A Duke-trained historian with a law degree from UNC Chapel Hill, Jean treats history the way professional historians do — as an argument built from evidence, not a list of dates to memorize.
