Background

About Benjamin Wand

My research interests center around the “human factor;” i.e, unpacking how people and institutions interact with beliefs, technology, and authority, and how these forces impact culture and create narratives. I target parts of Western Europe, such as Germany, Austria, Belgium, England, and Italy during the European Middle Ages (c. 500 – 1500). While examining sources I strive to discover interesting narratives that highlight individual agency, or that showcase how individuals operated within various political and social contexts. Seeking employment utilizing my skills and experience in university teaching, research, project management, product marketing, education, or social sciences/history. I am a creative and analytical thinker, a tenacious performer with an organized approach to tasks and strategies. I able to thrive working in a team, leading a team, or flying solo.
