Event

Matt Bahar (pronounced “bay-har”) is Associate Professor of History at Oberlin College. He received his PhD at the University of Oklahoma in 2012 and was an NEH Long-term Fellow at the Huntington Library in 2014-2015. His research and teaching interests lie at colonial North America’s Atlantic littoral, at the intersection of American Indian, imperial, and maritime history. Matt's first book, Storm of the Sea: Indians & Empires in the Atlantic’s Age of Sail, explores the assimilation of sailing technology among the Wabanaki people of northeastern North America in the colonial period. He has since shifted his attention down the coast, and is at work on a project about the diverse figures of European-, African-, and Indigenous-descent who went missing in Spanish Florida and the greater Southeast during the first three centuries of European exploration and settlement.
