Attracted by the terminology of digital libraries, social media, and humanities
computing, Nick Roberts recently returned to CalU
to
take on an instructional specialist position. In this capacity, he trains
university faculty, K-12 teachers, and university students to incorporate
digital primary sources in their classrooms (via inquiry-based active
learning and primary source document analysis).
As an adjunct, Nick also teaches at ITT-Technical
Institute in Pittsburgh,
PA, where he lives with his lovely wife Ashley and Marlo Bugkowski,
their questionably quasi-human cat. Previously, Nick taught
courses in political science, legal studies, and sociology in various community
colleges, which followed a graduate assistantship with the Department of Law,
Justice, and Society under Prof.
Aref-Alkhattar, PhD and Dean John Cencich,
JSD.
Nick stuck around CalU long enough to earn his
BS, BA, and MS degrees and is currently working on a PhD at Saybrook Graduate School
. His dissertation will be on peace and
conflict studies pedagogy, focusing on the social-structural meanings of
"diplomacy" as derived from the raw primary sources of history.
His current
recommendations from the LOC are: The Anthropology of Digital Natives (webcast) and Digital Natives Series: Everything Bad is Good for You.
