Stephen Morillo

Stephen Morillo specializes in medieval, military, and world history, combining the three in various ways in his teaching and research.

He is the author of numerous books and articles on these topics, including Frameworks of World History, a world history textbook being released by Oxford University Press in 2013. Current and past course topics include introductory world history, historiography, world military history, maritime history, and medieval Japan. When he isn’t teaching or writing, Morillo enjoys painting, cartooning, acting, and playing music. A native of New Orleans, he also cooks creole cuisine, Indian curries, and other scrumptious specialties of his own invention. He earned his doctoral degree in philosophy at Oxford University and his bachelor’s degree at Harvard University.
