I’m Vaughn Scribner, an Associate Professor of British American History at the University of Central Arkansas. Welcome to my website!
My scholarship reflects my broad interests, ranging from colonial American tavern going, to the complex history of humanity’s obsession with merpeople, to early modern Britons’ never-ending, often-debilitating, pursuit of mastery over the natural world.
I am also passionate about reaching a broader audience. To that end, I have published various articles (including a cover story for History Today, May 2018), in addition to conducting numerous interviews (television, podcast, in-person) and public presentations/exhibits. Please reach out if you would like to collaborate!
