Robert T. Schultz, a specialist in the history of the United States, teaches courses on the Progressive and New Deal eras, the transformation of American life and culture that resulted from industrialization, the American West, and the American history survey courses. He also teaches a writing-intensive seminar for first-year students. A University of Minnesota Ph.D., Robert authored Conflict and Change: Minneapolis Truck Drivers Make a Dent in the New Deal (2000). His current book project, tentatively titled "White Guys Who Prefer Not to: from Passive Resistance to Terrorist Acts," analyzes representations of disenchanted blue-collar and white-collar workers in American fiction and film from the 1840s through the twentieth century. This new project expands his interests in cultural history represented in his essay "Celluloid History: Postwar Society in Postwar Popular Culture" (1990).
