BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

A native Ohioan, John Sherman came to Wright State in 1994 after earning his Ph.D. at the University of Arizona in Latin American History. His publications include three solo-authored books and numerous articles and chapters – including The Mexican ‘Miracle’ and Its Collapse in the Oxford History of Mexico. John has taught through the University Studies Abroad Consortium in Costa Rica and Spain, and has offered fifteen different courses since arriving at Wright State (the four courses listed above are his most regular upper division offerings). He has served the Department as its Graduate Director (2000-07) and Chair (2008-09), and is presently on partial leave—teaching only half of the time.
