As a new member of the listserve, I wanted to take a moment to introduce
myself. My name is TJ Rainsford and I am currently an adjunct faculty member
in the Department of History at Mount Saint Mary's University in Emmitsburg,
MD. I am also currently pursuing teaching positions with independent
schools in the Washington, DC area. My current adjunct position represents
a bit of a career change for me.
For the past 12 years, I have worked as an information technology
professional primarily to non-profit organizations as well as independent
schools in the Washington, DC area. While I still have a love for
technology, I have this great desire to return to my true passion, the study
and teaching of History.
As a technologist, I think it is safe to say that I am a jack of all trades.
I have done everything from software and Web development to network
engineering all the way up to CTO/CIO consulting. Hopefully I can be of
assistance to other technologists on the list.
Academically, I consider myself an intellectual historian. My background is
in both history and philosophy and I find the development of ideas and
philosophies throughout history quite fascinating. I also have an interest
in the history of technology (go figure) and historiography (particularly
research methodology in the information age). While I have done quite a bit
of course work in non-Western history, my background is primarily rooted in
Europe and the US.
Warmest regards to one and all!
TJ
