Dennis P. Halpin has been appointed a visiting professor in the Department of History at Virginia Tech’s College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.

The new hires are part of the college’s ongoing efforts to attract renowned scholars to strengthen and expand its teaching, research, and engagement programs.

His latest work focuses on how African Americans, workers, and women shaped the Progressive Era in Baltimore, Maryland. He will teach U.S. history courses, a writing workshop for history majors, and a graduate seminar on the United States since 1877.
