Christine\u00a0Skwiot earned her Ph.D. in History from Rutgers University\u00a0in 2003, taught for a decade at Georgia State University, and joined Maine Maritime Academy in January 2014 as an Associate Professor of Humanities.<\/p>\n

Long a historian of race, nation, and empire in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean worlds, Dr.\u00a0Skwiot published a book,\u00a0The Purposes of Paradise: U.S. Tourism and Empire in Cuba and Hawai\u2018i 2010,\u00a0<\/em>and several articles on their interconnected histories. At MMA, she expanded upon this work, for example co-teaching an Honors Seminar on Moby Dick with Eric Jergenson and Sarah O\u2019Malley and publishing an article, \u201c\u2018To \u2018Live Like King George\u2019 in Hawai\u2018i and the United States: Entangled Exceptionalisms and Sovereignty Struggles in an Age of Revolutions, 1776-1819.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has embraced the freedom that\u00a0MMA offers her as a \u201ccountry doctor,\u201d or generalist in the best sense of the word, to explore new disciplines and fields. Dr.\u00a0Skwiot has begun work on a new project, \u201cSuicide and the Self-Made Man, or Dying Along with the American Dream,\u201d that will lead to publications aimed at popular and scholarly audiences and new ways of teaching the humanities. This work will also provide access to the field of young adult development, which will help Dr.\u00a0Skwiot\u00a0and her colleagues better understand and serve the developing young adults with whom MMA faculty\u00a0work every day.<\/p>\n

She looks forward to many more exciting and productive years at MMA, working with the most congenial colleagues in academia to help students find themselves at home in the many new worlds that they will explore.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
