Jim Stewart taught courses about the Western Hemisphere and the United States prior
to the 20th century, emphasizing the topics of race, politics, law and social movements
during his nearly thirty years of teaching. His books and articles address the
abolitionist movement in the U.S. and the politics of the conflict over slavery and the
struggles for racial justice. In 2002-03 he began a five-year, half-time appointment as
James Wallace Professor of History, devoted largely to research, writing, editing and
consulting for foundations. He will continue to teach courses occasionally.
