Drs. Johnson, Vogel, and Lanter are the professors on the Ireland study abroad trip that is annually held in May-June. Classes are held outside in nature at historic sites and students are given free time to explore cities for themselves. The history department encourages all students to look into taking a study abroad trip during your time here at Kutztown.

Dr. Gambone's newest book, "Modern Conspiracies in America - Separating Fact from Fiction" was published in May 2022 and grew out of the class he teaches on the topic. Modern Conspiracies in America will appeal to a broad audience of readers interested in American history and those seeking to become better informed consumers of news in an era when social media spreads misinformation widely and quickly.
