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:
