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
