Department Chair and Associate Professor of History
Dr. Fulton joined Emmanuel University in 2017 and currently teaches courses in European, World, and African history. Prior to joining Emmanuel, Dr. Fulton had taught history courses at several schools in Illinois including Wheaton College. Teaching history is a second career, his first being a Human Resource professional and consultant in the business world for over thirty years. However, his teaching career has spanned many of those years as teaching has been a lifelong pursuit for Dr. Fulton.
During the past several years, Dr. Fulton has published several scholarly works, including his latest article, “Crafting a Site of Incomplete State Memory: The French Case of the Depot de la Guerre,” in French Historical Studies (April 2017). His dissertation (2016) from Northern Illinois University focused on the rise of information managers in Louis XIV’s War Department, but in addition he has done significant research on the Huguenots (French Protestants) in colonial New France.
Dr. Fulton and his wife, Sandy have been married for more than 34 years and they have raised two daughters. They are currently raising their grandson, Mason, who is all boy. Dr. Fulton has been active in Habitat for Humanity, as well as men’s groups and small groups in the churches he has been privileged to serve. They love the outdoors and to take vacation road trips together.
