History Teaching
Despite my degree from Harvard Law School, and a brief legal career, I abandoned law forgraduate work in U.S. History. While my full time workis in public radio, I continue to teach US History as anadjunct prof at Johnson County Community College.It's a blast to teach US history survey courses to thewide range of traditional and non-traditional studentsat a community college.
