Nicholas Roberts ’96 featured by Sewanee student newspaper
Roberts majored in religion at Carleton.
Nicholas Roberts ’96 was featured by The Sewanee Purple, the student newspaper of Sewanee: University of the South, in a piece titled, “Professor Nicholas Roberts’ dedication to teaching truth and Middle Eastern history.”
Dr. Nicholas Roberts is a current professor of middle eastern history at Sewanee: University of the South with specific expertise in religious nationalism and military conflict. Born in England, Roberts moved to the United States in High School and studied religion at Carleton College in Minnesota.
In college, Roberts was not yet entirely sure of his career path. “At that time I didn’t think I would be a middle eastern history professor. I was interested in studying philosophy or mathematics,” said Roberts.
