Today I'd like to shine the spotlight on educator Robert S. McElvaine. A little about Bob: he's both the chair of the History Dept. and the Elizabeth Chisholm Professor of Arts & Letters at Millsaps College in Mississippi, has authored several respected books (Eve's Seed, The Depression and the New Deal, and Mario Cuomo: A Biography among them), enjoys the sounds of Norah Jones, the Chieftains, Aerosmith, and Alanis Morrisette, and makes young female students dress up with him and reenact scenes from his favorite movies.
