History Department : Faculty Accomplishments |
Graduate Faculty AccomplishmentsCentral Washington University's graduate faculty members have a strong record of accomplishment. Since 2001, three history professors—Roxanne Easley, Tom Wellock, and Jim Cook—have won the CWU Alumni Association's Excellence in Teaching Award. Dr. Easley, who specializes in modern Russia, also won the Most Inspirational Faculty Member Award in 2005, given by the Center for Excellence in Leadership. Dr. Wellock, who teaches courses on the Cold War, the U.S. West, environmental history, and military history, has just completed his second book, a history of the conservation and environmental movements in the United States. Dr. Cook, who has developed Central Washington Unviersity's Asia/Pacific Studies Program, has won several major grants for research programs in China that involve collaboration between faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduates. Dan Herman, who teaches U.S. history prior to 1877, won the American Historical Association's Pacific Coast Branch Book Prize in 2002 and was chosen as CWU's Phi Kappa Phi Scholar of the Year in 2005. Mike Ervin, who co-directs Central Washington University's Latin American Studies Program, received a Faculty Research Grant and a College of Arts and Humanities Scholarship/Creativity grant last year to conduct research in Mexico for a book manuscript. Steve Moore, who teaches Pacific Northwest History, Canadian History, and U.S. Foreign Policy, won the bi-annual award for best article from the American Review of Canadian Studies in 2005, and is now at work on a book on Canadian-American relations during the Prohibition era. Jason Knirck, who teaches courses on modern Ireland, Continental Europe, and ancient Rome, has two books on the Irish Revolution in press. And Karen Blair, chair of the History Department, has published too many books and won too many awards to count, including the University's Distinguished Professor of Research Award in 1999 and the Phi Kappa Phi Scholar of the Year Award in 2001.
