Christopher Riggs
I am an Associate Professor in the Social Sciences Division at Lewis-Clark State College. I hold a Ph.D. in history from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
My research has focused on modern American politics and American Indian history. I see my work as part of the "New Political History," combining social history's emphasis on non-elites with a recognition of the importance of politics.
My teaching focuses on the history of the United States and on the social sciences.
Courses I've taught include:
- United States History to 1865
- United States History Since 1865
- America in the 20th Century
- America Since 1945
- America in the Sixties
- Native American/American Indian History
- United States Indian Policy
- Indigenous Peoples and Nation States
- Minorities
- History of Poverty
- Idaho and the Pacific Northwest
- Chicanos and Native Americans in the Southwest
- Social Movements and Social Change in Modern American History
- The Vietnam Wars
- American Foreign Policy since 1940
- Origins of American Foreign Policy
- Introduction to Social Sciences
