Previous employment in the airline industry availed Dr. Robinson with many interesting and enlightening international experiences. Visits to Mexico and South America awakened his interest in the people, history, and culture of Latin America to the point that he returned to graduate school, earned a Ph.D., and married a Brazilian.
As a proud Texan, Dr. Robinson is pleased to be in Brownsville where he can eagerly pursue his research interests in the US/Mexico border and enjoy the Valley’s unique culture.
To understand fully history, Dr. Robinson believes that one must study it in a global and contemporary context. In other words, history does not occur in geographic isolation and today is linkable to the past. He conducts class in a casual, conversational manner with emphasis on reading and writing.
Dr. Robinson’s hobbies include playing tennis and visiting the island on Sundays.
