Listen! Dr. Steiner on Social Science (MP3, 1.47MB)

Dr. Steiner received his Ph.D. in American studies from the Saint Louis University in 1994. He came to Northwest in 1997 with ten years of teaching experience in public high schools and currently coordinates the social science secondary education program. With interests ranging from American social history to Modern Japan he has published articles in a variety of topics in these areas.

With an emphasis primarily in Nineteenth-Century America, Dr. Steiner teaches courses in American history, the frontier, colonial America, the age of reform, ethnicity, economic history, seminars in social history, and modern Japan. He has served on a number of university committees. Among them are the Council on Teacher Education, the Secondary Education Coordinating Committee, the Student-Faculty Discipline Committee, and the Employment Equity Committee.

Currently Dr. Steiner also serves as national secretary for the Japan Studies Association; an organization that fosters the integration of Japan studies across the undergraduate curriculum, through conferences, journals, and travel in Japan.

Besides his interest in history and secondary education, he dreams of being an accomplished jazz musician, and has performed with a number of university jazz ensembles.
