In the classroom.
Stephen teaches history at Bushnell University. His fields connect Latin America, global studies, and the history of Christianity with questions that reach into everyday life.
Read Bushnell’s April 2025 faculty feature for a closer look at his teaching and an accompanying video interview.
Making an archive speak.
In the website planning conversation, Stephen described working with classes to create pop-up history exhibits from Bushnell’s archives. The idea is simple: find meaningful stories in a collection and help an audience connect with them.
That approach can begin with an institution, a photograph, a personal history, or a question about how a place became what it is.
