Honors Prof. of the Year

Dr. David C. Williard was voted by the Aquinas Scholars members as the Honors Professor of the Year.

He is one of 19 professors to receive that honor since its inception in 1993.

Dr. Williard is a historian of the United States.  He specializes in the transformative effects of war on the meaning of citizenship, with a particular interest in the Civil War and Reconstruction.  More broadly, his teachings and research interrogate how contested identities emerge from the intersection of ideology and experience.  He has led the Civil War Era Citizenship Honors Seminar, which continues to be an Aquinas Scholars favorite. ‌
