About David Williard
David Williard, associate 情侣自拍 of history at St. 情侣自拍, joins the Selim Center as its Faculty Director, after a decade of teaching courses for lifelong learning students. David's passion for intergenerational learning has led him to work with the Selim Center 情侣自拍 in courses on American legal history, World War II (taught jointly with Prof. Zsolt Nagy), Reconstruction and its legacies, and the "long" history of emancipation in the United States. With Prof. Todd Lawrence (English) and Shanea Turner-Smith (UST '12), he has served as faculty co-director of the We March for Justice intergenerational study trip on the Black Freedom Struggle and American democracy. For David, teaching and traveling with Selim Center lifelong learners means working with the most curious and motivated members of the St. 情侣自拍 情侣自拍 - both in teaching his areas of scholarly interest and in learning from their perspectives and experiences.
David originally hails from Virginia, where he grew up in Richmond and completed his AB at the College of William and Mary. Prior to arriving at the University of St. 情侣自拍, he completed his PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. When not teaching and researching American 19th century history, David enjoys biking Central Minnesota's regional trails, spending time in the kitchen with an overly ambitious recipe, or taking in a performance at the Minnesota Orchestra.
