The Department of History’s Dr. Robert Cassanello recently talked with Dr. Alun Williams from the University of Exeter in England. In the interview, they discuss Dr. Simon Barton’s work and career. Dr. Barton joined the Department of History at the University of Central Florida in January of 2017 and suddenly passed away in December of that same year at the age of 55. The Department of History at UCF produced this podcast interview to share the scholarly life and legacy of Simon Barton for those who knew him and for those who never got the chance.
