​
Hi, I'm Michael S. Bryant, Professor of History and Legal Studies in the Department of Politics, Law, and Society at Bryant University and Adjunct Professor of Law for Creighton University School of Law. I have been teaching and conducting research in the legal and historical disciplines since the late 1990s. Both my teaching and writing involve issues related to the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights. My conviction, which has grown over more than two decades of intensive engagement with these fields, is that the study of inhumanity in history can equip us to confront its occurrence more effectively today. Knowledge of the past translates into the power we need to change the world for the better.
