History
Dr. Joseph A. Ross received his Ph.D. in History from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he focused on the development of international human rights law. His current project traces the evolution of human rights concepts by focusing on American participants who were at the center of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial—Robert Jackson, Francis Biddle, and John Parker. Ross has more than twelve years of college teaching experience and has taught a wide range of courses, such as the history of the Holocaust and genocide, war crimes trials and transitional justice, and American foreign relations.
