Bob Frost received his doctorate in modern European history from the University of Wisconsin in 1983, and taught and researched in French and European history until shifting to information studies in 2000. He has published on a number of topics, ranging from the inundation of an Alpine village by a hydroelectric project, to the use of home appliances in France, to the business of distributing recorded music, and finally, to the value of ambiguity in global organizations. His current work focuses on building virtual museums in Native American communities.
Professor Frost has traveled widely in Europe both in research/scholarship and in cultural heritage tourism. He has participated in a number of organized travel opportunities in the Aegean and Adriatic regions, addressing Balkan Wars, Medieval trade and systems of iconography.
Professor Frost is proud to continue his family’s connection to the University of Michigan, started in the 1920s by his great-grandfather and poet Robert Frost.
