Paul Lockhart<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul Lockhart, Ph.D., professor of history<\/a>, received the 2021\u20132022 Trustees\u2019 Award for Faculty Excellence for his dedication to student success and award-winning research that has brought national and international attention to Wright State.<\/p>\n

Throughout Lockhart\u2019s time at Wright State, he has become an authority on military history. He has worked on several extensive public history projects, including a large collaborative commemoration of World War I.<\/p>\n

Lockhart is a leading historian of 16th and 17th century Denmark and Scandinavia and has worked alongside history professors in Denmark and England. His research has been recognized internationally, and he has received several awards and fellowships.<\/p>\n

Lockhart\u2019s colleagues from around the globe say his expertise is extensive and outstanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cLockhart is that rare kind of historian who is able to produce erudite scholarship of the highest academic standard, while at the same time also writing in a narrative style for a popular audience,\u201d said Kim Wagner, professor of global and imperial history at the Queen Mary University of London. \u201cThere can be little doubt that Lockhart is an outstanding scholar, teacher and administrator.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lockhart\u2019s most recent book, \u201cFirepower,\u201d explores 500 years of the history of firearms. The book has received widespread acclaim and positive reviews in the Wall Street Journal and The Daily Beast. Wagner commended Lockhart\u2019s work on \u201cFirepower\u201d along with his books \u201cThe Drillmaster of Valley Forge\u201d and \u201cThe Whites of Their Eyes\u201d for bringing history closer to the public. Lockhart has authored seven books in total.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a genuine Renaissance scholar, Lockhart\u2019s linguistic abilities are furthermore unrivaled, and he makes effective use of no less than nine European languages in his scholarship,\u201d Wagner said. \u201cHaving seen parts of the manuscript for his forthcoming book, I can say with some confidence that this represents the high mark of his prestigious scholarship and literary skill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lockhart was elected to the Royal Society for Danish History for his significant contributions to Denmark\u2019s history. Four of his books focus on the history of Scandinavia, particularly the history of war in early modern Scandinavia. Membership in the Royal Society for Danish History is incredibly prestigious and is rarely extended to foreigners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
