Since coming to UWM in 1996 I have supervised to completion 17 PhD theses and 60
Masters theses.
I encourage my graduate students to engage in professional development, including presenting papers and organizing sessions at conferences that can then be submitted for publication. My PhD and Masters students have attended and presented at national and international meetings every year, including the SAAs, AAAs, and EAAs.
PhD students are also strongly encouraged to apply for external funding; students working under my supervision have received grants or other financial support from the following sources: Wenner-Gren, Fulbright-Hayes, NSF, IGHERT, AOP, and the AIA.
