My research has focused on a Islam and Politics in West Africa.  Initially I
focused on the era of Decolonization (Resulting in the monograph The 
Time of Politics (Zamanin Siyasa):  Islam and the Politics of Legitimacy 
in Northern Nigeria, 1950-1966 -- which is available in paperback.  

I am also researching British colonial policy towards Islam in
Nigeria and elsewhere in West Africa.  See, for example, "Good and Bad
Muslims: Islam and Indirect Rule in Nigeria in the Early 20th Century", 
International Journal of African Historical Studies.  Vol. 34, 
No. 3 (2001), pp. 601-618 

At NKU I teach African, Middle Eastern, and World History, as well as 
various thematic courses within the college Honors Program.
 
Along with co-author Dr. Erik Gilbert, I have recently published the 
second edition of Africa in World History:  From Prehistory to the 
Present with Prentice-Hall publishers, a core text for African 
History survey courses.
