CHCI welcomed two new CHCI staff members this month. We are thrilled to have Jason and Bill with us as and they very much look forward to working with our current and future members.


Earlier this week, Bill Warner joined CHCI as Events and Membership Manager and will focus on social media and the web, annual and board meetings coordination, and CHCI membership and networks. Bill joined CHCI from Beloit College where he previously worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History. He holds a B.A. from James Madison University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the socio-economic history of Afghan migration to and from British India, with particular attention paid to soldiers, laborers, and moneylenders. While at UW-Madison, Bill served as a Higher Education Leadership Project Assistant in the Graduate School organizing professional development events, workshops, and programs for graduate students. He also helped launch the History Lab, a writing center for undergraduate students in history courses. Bill can be reached at warner@humanities.wisc.edu.
Bill is replacing Craig Eley, who, as many of you know, has left CHCI to pursue an independent career in radio and sound production. We are looking forward to working with Craig on future projects in that new capacity. Stay tuned for more information on this soon!
