About
s a Professor of History at the University of Colorado and a digital humanities innovator, I specialize in medieval and early modern history, focusing on the dynamic interplay of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim cultures. My academic journey, rooted in a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin, is dedicated to exploring the rich complexities of Spain, Iberia, and the [Global Middle Ages](https://grants.uccs.edu/igma/). Yet, it is grounded in industry and government, based on my prior almost decade long career in research forecasting at the Institute for the Future and governmental management consultant and strategic planning. My current work is distinguished by my innovative use of virtual reality, MOOCs, big data, and AI in historical manuscript studies, aiming to transform our approach to teaching, research, and knowledge creation. My career and life is characterized by a global scope, delving into the histories of regions like Spain, Portugal, Italy, the UK, Germany, France, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, Mexico, and South America. This includes prior residence in Spain, Bolivia, and South America, in addition to my native United States (TX, PA, CA, CO). This broad perspective enriches my research and teaching, allowing me to weave diverse historical narratives. A pivotal aspect of my work is my involvement with over 70,000 citizen scholars via MOOCs, university students, high school students, and the general public. This includes leading the “Immersive Global Middle Ages” project, which uses advanced digital tools to bring historical narratives to life. In December 2023, I launched a [Coursera.org Specialization titled “Personal Journeys: Identity, Motivation, and Resilience.”](https://www.coursera.org/specializations/identity-motivation-resilience) This three-course series explores the Renaissance’s cultural and intellectual legacy and modern global perspectives, focusing on self-discovery, motivation, and overcoming societal challenges. The courses offer an intellectual tapestry designed to foster resilience and growth in both personal and professional spheres. Central to my vision for future research and education is training AI as a “[collaborative AI humanist and scholar](https://urraca-ai.org/),” an endeavor that transcends academic research to pioneer new forms of human-AI collaboration. This initiative is about deepening our collective understanding of history’s longue durée through the lens of innovative technology.

The SHERPA project investigated, analyzed and synthesized our understanding of the ways in which Smart Information Systems (SIS - involving big data analytics and artificial intelligence) impact ethics and human rights issues. It developed novel ways of understanding and addressing their challenges, evaluated with stakeholders, and advocated the most desirable and sustainable solutions. My role in this project focused on the ethical evaluation of particular SIS technologies, the companies and organizations that use and implement them, and the societal implications of their widespread adoption and integration. As part of my role, I liaised with international organizations from an array of societal domains and evaluate their use of these emerging technologies.

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on History?

Historical Market Analysis

A History expert can conduct a comprehensive analysis of past market trends, identifying patterns and cycles that can help predict future market behavior. This analysis can assist companies in making informed decisions regarding product development, pricing strategies, and market expansion.

Historical Brand Positioning

By studying the historical evolution of brands within an industry, a History expert can provide insights into successful brand positioning strategies. This knowledge can help companies differentiate themselves from competitors and create a unique brand identity that resonates with consumers.

Historical Content Creation

A History expert can contribute to content creation by writing engaging articles, blog posts, or social media content that incorporates historical context. This approach not only educates and entertains the audience but also establishes the company as a thought leader in its industry.

Historical Research for Marketing Campaigns
