Paul Lockhart has been teaching history at Wright State since 1989, when he earned his Ph.D. under the direction of the late Gunther E. Rothenberg. He teaches courses on Europe in the “age of religious wars,” on warfare in Western history, and – occasionally – on Scandinavia. He has also held appointments at the Institut for Historie, Kultur, og Samfundsbeskrivelse, Odense Universitet (now University of Southern Denmark), Odense, Denmark, and at his undergraduate alma mater, SUNY/Potsdam College, where he served as NEH Visiting Distinguished Professor of History. Dr. Lockhart has also held fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies and the American-Scandinavian Foundation.

Dr. Lockhart’s first four books concern Scandinavian history – especially the history of the Danish monarchy, including Norway and Iceland – in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but lately he’s been writing about American military history, and for a much bigger audience. In his two most recent books – The Whites of Their Eyes: Bunker Hill, the First American Army, and the Emergence of George Washington, and The Drillmaster of Valley Forge: The Baron de Steuben and the Making of the American Army – Lockhart returned to his first love, the American Revolution.
