A
medievalist at heart, Dr. Bell is fascinated with cultural interaction around
the Mediterranean from Antiquity through the Middle Ages. Dr. Bell has an
undergraduate degree at the College of Wooster and a Ph.D. from Duke
University. He joined the faculty at Winthrop University in the fall of
2014 after teaching history at various universities in North and South Carolina
since 2007. In his research and writing, he focuses on the crusades, and
has written articles on exchanges among the Western European crusaders,
Venetians, and the Byzantines during the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries.
Dr. Bell teaches the World History courses at Winthrop University as well as
classes on the medieval Mediterranean, Antiquity, Africa and Islam, and the
crusade movement.
Dr. Bell splits his time between his History department office in 366 Bancroft, and his Medieval Studies program office in 105 Bancroft.
