Dr. Gai Ferdon

Assistant Professor
Helms School of Government
Liberty University

Be mindful that my teaching expertise is in the field of American Constitutional History, American Government (National and State Government) as well as American and Early Modern British History, with subthemes of republicanism and federalism.  I do of course deal with the nature of the history of American/Anglo Jurisprudence within these disciplines.  In this regard, I instruct students in American Government past and present.   I propose a course which combines American constitutional history with American government for your students.
