Exploring history through criminology: A unique classroom experience
Associate Professor Melanie-Angela Neuilly recently led her criminal justice and criminology capstone course in an innovative exploration of the Salem Witch Trials. Dressed in Puritan witch attire, Professor Neuilly brought the historical period to life, engaging her students in a unique and immersive learning experience.
The course applied criminological theories to the historical facts of the Salem Witch Trials, encouraging students to examine the events of 1692 using their criminological knowledge. This framework then allowed them to better understand more recent or current events.
This hands-on approach not only enriches students’ understanding of criminology but also highlights the relevance of historical events in modern society.
Special recognition for outstanding achievement
We are pleased to announce that Cody Barnes has been awarded a $200 scholarship for his outstanding undergraduate research. This scholarship was made possible through funds raised on Giving Tuesday, thanks to the generous donation from Pamela Reader.
