Randolph Hollingsworth, M.A.T., Ph.D.
Assistant Provost for Undergraduate Education, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky USA

Currently an administrator focusing on interrelationships across traditional silos in educational settings, I am especially interested in the teaching and learning of history as a form of civic engagement. Much of my historical research and teaching is conducted within open educational environments, leading to multiple avenues for communication and collaboration.
