succeeded in teaching some classes on Star Trek .
Brent McDonald holds a BS in computer science. While it is not an A7 expert computer certification like the one earned by Spock, he is still very skilled. Brent does not fancy himself a futurist, but he looks forward to seeing technology advance further, and he hopes and expects to see many technological breakthroughs in his lifetime. He lives by the saying âThe future is wild,â and when it comes to technology, he couldnât be more accurate.
Matthew D. Mingus is a PhD candidate studying European history at the University of Florida. He has published several articles on the historical developments of modern cartography and is particularly interested in the relationship between German and American strains of geographical thought. In his spare time he volunteers for a Cardassian educational nonprofit, teaching Marxian critical theory to small Ferengi children (no small task!). He lives with his wife, Lindsey, and dog, Dixieâboth of whom constantly mock his dream of one day compiling a comprehensive atlas of the Battle of Wolf 359, temporal shifts and all.
John Putman began watching the original Star Trek reruns during the 1970s from his living room âcaptainâsâ chair, where he rocked and shook along with the USS Enterprise when it was under attack. When he learned in college that biobeds and tricorder scanners would not likely exist for many years, he switched his major from premedicine to history. He is now an associate professor of American history at San Diego State University, where he teaches classes on the American West, California history, and a new class called â Star Trek , Culture, and History.â Always appreciating a cup of Earl Grey tea, he and his wife, Irene, have collected more than one hundred Star Trek mugs from which to enjoy, like Captain Picard, those quiet moments.
Nancy R. Reagin watched the original Star Trek series broadcasts during the 1960s, and she decided right then that she wanted to be the Enterprise âs historian; seeing the Guardian of Forever only confirmed her suspicion that Starfleet would be a more interesting place to do historical research. Instead, she ended up becoming the chair of the Department of Womenâs and Gender Studies at Pace University in New York City, where she is also a professor of history. She has written sundry publications on modern German history and European womenâs history, and she has firm opinions about how the holodeck and other technologies could be used to teach history at Starfleet Academy.
Alexander H. Robles grew up watching the Star Trek: The Next Generation with his Trek -obsessed mother, who watched Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home on rapid repeat; heâs also an avid fan of the original series and Deep Space Nine . He holds a BA in film and screen studies from Pace University, and he is currently pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. He hopes to be the first to establish a canine division in Starfleet and allow dogs to boldly go where no dog has gone before.
Marcus Schulze is a research director for the Center for Policy Research at the University at Albany and an ABD PhD candidate in the department of political science. His research interests include contemporary political theory, comparative politics, applied ethics, and issues of political violence. He is currently finishing his dissertation research about how soldiers make ethical decisions during wars. Marcusâs favorite part of Star Trek is the holodeck, which he hopes to use someday in the distant future, when someone finally figures out how to prevent it from malfunctioning.
Amy H. Sturgis was born a Trekker after listening to reruns of the original Star Trek series from the womb. She earned her PhD in intellectual history from Vanderbilt University, and she teaches at Lenoir-Rhyne University and the innovative Mythgard Institute.
