约瑟夫T. 斯图尔特博士
Director of 历史, Associate Professor of 历史, Fellow in Catholic Studies
I teach in the history 和 Catholic studies programs. I believe 文化 is the driving force of history, 那个邪教, in the sense of "worship," is the wellspring of 文化. The vocation of the historian is enriching the world of the present through knowledge 和 preservation of the past.
朱莉Yarwood, PhD
Associate Professor of 历史
I'm originally from central New York. 大学毕业后, I found myself returning to academic work while also working in various roles in Student Development during my graduate school years. This integration has been an important component of my work during my time at Mary. While my primary role is on the faculty, I work closely with Student Development. This allows me to ask questions about both the academic experience 和 the student life experience, bridging these two worlds for those who work here 和 those who learn here.
