Dr. Tim Cuff, Westminster College associate professor of history, was a panel discussant at the 36th annual Social Science History Association meeting Nov. 17-20 in Boston.

Cuff was invited to be part of a five-member panel on "Life and Death in the South Pacific."   Two papers were presented by scholars from England, Australia, and the United States.  One paper dealt with the historical relationship between birth weight and adult health status (proxied by blood pressure) and the second dealt with the life course events of convict transportees to Tasmania and efforts to track them through various public records.

Cuff, a Westminster graduate who joined the faculty in 2000, serves as the First-Year Program coordinator.  He earned a master's degree from Bowling Green State University and a master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh.
