Andrew Kellett
Associate Professor History
About
Professor Kellett joined the HCC community in 2008, the same year as he earned in
PhD in modern European history. His teaching focuses on making history interesting
and accessible, by presenting historical figures as real people with real problems.
He is interested in the impact of ideas and money on cultural creativity, and how
myth and opinion have been used to shape how we "use" history in political debates.
