BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Paul Douglas Lockhart has been teaching history at Wright State since 1989, when he completed his Ph.D. under the direction of the late Gunther E. Rothenberg.  Until very recently, his research has centered around the history of early modern Scandinavia, with an emphasis on the Danish monarchy before 1660.  He teaches courses on Scandinavian history, the “Age of Religious Wars,” warfare in European history, and a variety of other topics on early modern and modern Europe.

 

Dr. Lockhart has resided in Denmark as visiting lecturer at the Institut for Historie, Kultur og Samfundsbeskrivelse, Odense Universitet, in 1997, and was named National Endowment for the Humanities Visiting Distinguished Professor at the State University of New York/Potsdam College during the fall semester 2000.  He has held fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Philosophical Society, and the American-Scandinavian Foundation.
