Dr. Kristin Olbertson
Departments: History
Kristin Olbertson started college as an anthropology major, but a distributive requirement led her to take “Chaucer’s England,” turning her on to history. And while studying abroad she discovered legal history.
“I’m pretty sure I would never have discovered history, or developed an interest in legal history, if I hadn’t been at a liberal arts college that encourages a broad education, studying abroad and pursuing your passions,” she says.
