Dr. Jeff Chamberlain
Director, The Frederik Meijer Honors College
Professor of History
chamberj@gvsu.edu


Dr. Chamberlain, or "Dr. J" as he is affectionately known, has worked in honors for most of the last decade. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1992, and is a faculty member in history. His field is 17th and 18th century England, and, when he gets time to research and write, he works on "conspiracy and intrigue" in the 18th century--specifically a daring plot to overthrow the British crown in the 1720s. He is most passionate, though, about students getting the quality of education that they deserve, which is why he works in Honors.
