Faculty Profiles


 

"My Honors professors are some of the smartest and most interesting teachers I have ever had. All Honors classes are small and discussion oriented, so students and teachers get a chance to learn a lot about one another. Learning is more fun and it seems more important, because much of what I am learning can be applied in a variety of classes and in real life as well."

Our Faculty

The heart of the Honors program is a set of innovative courses open only to Honors students taught by outstanding faculty, many of whom have won the prestigious Temple University Great Teacher Award. Interaction among Honors faculty and students is a hallmark of the program - classes are likely to include field trips and fascinating projects, and because our classes are small students have the chance to really get to know professors and classmates.

Congratulations to Dr. William I. Hitchcock for winning the prestigious George Louis Beer Prize for The Bitter Road to Freedom: A New History of the Liberation of Europe (Free Press)

Established by a bequest from Professor Beer, a historian of the British colonial system before 1765, this prize is offered annually in recognition of outstanding historical writing in European international history since 1895. Prize committee members are Konrad H. Jarausch, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, chair; Susan Brewer, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point; Peter Fritzsche, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Mary Ellen Lewis, Harvard University; and Marla Stone, Occidental College.

The Bitter Road to Freedom: A New History of the Liberation of Europe is a powerful narrative that challenges the “good war” memory of the liberation of Europe. Its transnational and multi-leveled perspective captures the bittersweet experiences of both liberators and the liberated. This portrayal is innovative, since it represents the first comparison of liberation across the continent, including peoples occupied by the Nazis, Jewish Holocaust survivors, and ethnic Germans. Focused on a single transatlantic theme, the book is a model of how a truly European history might be written.
