About “joehistorian”

Joe musing in Lübeck, Germany.

“Joehistorian” is the creation of Dr. Joe Krulder, Ph.D.   Krulder firmly believes that History, as a discipline, is grossly misunderstood by the general populace. Though Joe faults academia mostly, he has taken up the banner to bring his thoughts (as well as his struggles to make a living) on the craft of History before the masses.

Joe teaches as an adjunct instructor at Yuba College in Marysville, California, and at Butte College in Oroville/Chico, CA.
