Jordan Watkins
PhD, History, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (2014)
MA, History, Claremont Graduate University (2009)
BA, History, Brigham Young University (2006)
I am interested in exploring the transatlantic development of American intellectual history, specifically in the realm of historical thought and religious, legal, and literary developments. My book, Slavery and Sacred Texts: The Bible, the Constitution, and Antebellum Historical Consciousness (Cambridge University Press, 2021), examines the ways in which antebellum biblical and constitutional debates over slavery brought awareness to the historical distances separating Americans from their hallowed biblical and Revolutionary pasts.
I currently teach courses in Church History at Brigham Young University.
Supervisors: David F. Holland
