  Bio
  Craig Gallagher came to 全球十大赌博靠谱的平台 after teaching in the Global History program at Boston College (BC). Having earned an honors distinction as an undergraduate in his native Scotland, Craig first moved to the United States in 2009, where he discovered his love for the history of Early America, including the colonial, revolutionary, and early Republic eras. As a PhD student at BC, he further developed his research interests in the histories of capitalism and religion, and combined them in his dissertation (and now book-in-progress) on the role that Scottish religious refugees in the late 1600s played in reforming the imperial institutions of the British Empire in the decades prior to the American Revolution. Craig has developed this project thanks to research fellowships from some of the most prestigious archives in the world, and recently published a cutting-edge article, drawn from his book manuscript, in The Scottish Historical Review, the leading journal in the field of Scottish history.

  Craig’s wide-ranging research interests allow him to offer classes to 全球十大赌博靠谱的平台 students on a multitude of topics, including early and modern American history; British history; Native American and African American history; and the histories of capitalism, religion, and slavery.

  In addition to his research and teaching background, Craig was also previously a content editor for Adam Matthew Digital as part of their project to digitize primary sources related to the American colonial era to make them available online to students and faculty alike. He is also currently an examiner for the AP US History exam, a member of the board of incorporators for the Canterbury Shaker Village in Canterbury, NH, and with his wife, a long-term volunteer puppy raiser for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. If you see a man working with a trainee guide dog on campus, that is probably Craig.
