Andrew Howard earned his Ph.D. from Ohio University in 2023 after previously working as an academic editor in publishing and receiving his B.A. in History and Religion at Ohio Wesleyan University in 2013. He is a historian of the British Empire in South Asia, with his research focusing on the British intervention in the mountainous province of Kashmir in 1885. He is currently writing a book on the British failure to connect Kashmir by railroad with the rest of British India. At his previous position at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, he taught World History by focusing on the theme of empires, from the Persian Empire to the British Empire, and he also taught History of Religions. He has spent many years studying Hindi and Urdu languages and enjoys utilizing them in his research and while traveling in India. His historical interests include imperialism, politics, diplomacy, war and peace, language, and environment.
