Matt’s ability to navigate and advise on complicated questions about history, culture, and scholarship make him an invaluable resource. He listens carefully and gives clear, actionable guidance, while his experience and perspective help him to ferret out the nuance you need for your project. I recommend him without reservation.

“Premium” is the word I would use to describe BTM 320 Hopi Runners from Professor Gilbert. I once had the great honor of taking an independent study (in addition to several other courses) with Professor  Gilbert on Hopi athletes at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and I can say that he offers the same high-quality education in this course as I received from him at the university.
