Growing up as one of seven kids means Austin learned early how to explain things clearly to people with very different learning styles — a skill that carries into history, where he teaches students to build cause-and-effect arguments rather than memorize dates. His applied mathematics background giv...

Briana approaches history as an exercise in constructing arguments from evidence, not memorizing dates. Her criminal justice graduate work required deep engagement with how legal systems, policing, and social movements have evolved over time, giving her particular strength in U.S. social and politic...

Teaching chemistry courses as adjunct faculty at VCU means Joel spends most of his time training students to read evidence carefully and defend conclusions — skills that map directly onto historical document analysis and essay writing.

Medical school admissions forced Sanam to spend serious time with the social and political history of public health — how epidemics reshaped government policy, why certain communities were excluded from medical advances, and what drove the Progressive Era's sanitation reforms. That background in com...

Biomedical engineering coursework is essentially applied history — Samiya regularly traces how scientific breakthroughs, public health crises, and regulatory decisions shaped modern medicine, which means she reads historical cause-and-effect chains with real fluency. She brings that same analytical ...

Engineering coursework at VCU drills one thing relentlessly: figuring out why systems behave the way they do under specific conditions.
