About Ryan Lancaster

I'm Ryan Lancaster, an online history professor and wrestling coach known for my witty approach to blending historical analysis with engaging teaching methods. My love for research and teaching drives me to create captivating curricula that educate and ignite curiosity in my students. I am particularly interested in diverse historical periods, and my published works shed light on lesser-known aspects of history. Collaboration with fellow historians and educators is my priority, enriching my teaching practices. I leverage my technology skills and effective communication to cultivate an inclusive learning environment that prioritizes diversity and inclusion. Guiding and advising students goes beyond academics; I strive to foster their personal growth. Outside of academia, I also serve as a wrestling coach, bringing my expertise in athlete development to the mat. My focus lies in honing techniques, devising practical strategies, and nurturing skills in my wrestlers. I emphasize sportsmanship and leadership, instilling values beyond the wrestling mat in my athletes. By fostering teamwork and motivation, I create an environment where athletes can thrive. Performance evaluation is a crucial aspect of my coaching philosophy, as it allows me to guide each wrestler toward reaching their full potential. Whether in the classroom or on the wrestling mat, I'm committed to making a lasting impact through my passion for history, dedication to teaching, and unwavering support for athlete development.
