Welcome to
Marv Slind's
web page at
Luther College

The main purpose of this page is to provide links to my course materials. During spring semester 2013, I will be teaching History 150: Europe, 1648 to the Present, and History 348: The Vikings in History. Each of my courses has a separate web site with specific course materials which you can access by clicking on the course title. In addition to teaching classes in the History Department, I am also Department Head.

In January term 2012, and again in January term 2013, I taught a "First Year Seminar," History 185 -- "From Mobile to Margaritaville: Human Geography in the Music and Fiction of Jimmy Buffett."

During January term, 2010, I taught a travel course, "European History Through the Irish Lens: The Irish Republic and Northern Ireland."
