Current Research Interests:
My broad interest in European intellectual history, with a special interest in Renaissance intellectual and religious history. My graduate courses cover the Renaissance humanism, the Scientific Revolution of the Seventeenth Century, Early Modern Philosophy, and Reformation theology. Because I teach these subjects on the undergraduate level, I would also take a student interested in independent study in Byzantine history, the history of early and medieval Christianity, and Early Modern Political and Social history. As a scholar, I have published mainly on Greek and Latin humanists in fifteenth-century Italy.
