Matthew Warshauer

Matt Warshauer is a professor of history at Central Connecticut State University, where he received his bachelors in American Studies.  Fascinated by what he calls “the American paradox,” the ever-challenging conundrum between the nation’s founding document and the difficulties of pursuing essential ideas of freedom, Warshauer pursued an MA and Ph.D. at Saint Louis University.  He has spent the last 30 years exploring the great American experiment in self-government.  The author of five books and countless articles and reviews, Warshauer has written extensively on Andrew Jackson, slavery and the Civil War, and, most recently, 9/11 and how the most important and devastating event of the 21st century has impacted the world in which we live.  Creating and Failing the 9/11 Generation: The Real Story of September 11 was just released from Routledge Press. With a unique ability to draw in his audience, Warshauer guides listeners through the complexities of American political and constitutional history so that we can all think more clearly and gain a better of understanding of our role as citizens.
