Phillip Fox teaches a wide variety of courses in world and European history from the ancient past through the 20th century. In his courses, he encourages students to cultivate their ability to do history, an action he believes is neither natural nor obvious, but that is nevertheless beneficial to its practitioners. Developing these skills prepares students for life both in the workplace and beyond it as an active citizen and member of society. It also equips students to be lifelong-learners, prepared to to navigate the complexity of an ever-changing world and workplace.
