Dr. Robert Voss: Academic

As a historian of the American West, I am interested in the connections of Native America, railroads, and capitalism in the later half of the 19th century. My research and academic work stretches into the applications of digital humanities and digital history as well as secondary social studies education.

I am also a consultant on AI and Education. I specialize in helping smaller colleges and universities navigate the complex world of AI. With a unique blend of academic insight and practical experience, I provide needs assessment and faculty training programs that can ensure your institution can leverage AI ethically and effectively.

I also am the Social Science Education Coordinator, supervising and advising student teachers in secondary education. In addition to all of this, I consult with higher education providers on AI in Higher Ed.
