Matthew Vester
I feel I have the best job in the college because I get to see what goes on in research and get the first peek at the research results. The research data I work on ranges from discoveries in soil, water, grazing land, forests, farms, insects, air quality, small and large animals, agricultural production, energy, microbes, human and animal nutrition and foods, genetics, education, WV communities, often wild and wonderful!
Ken Blemings was born and raised in western New Jersey where he was involved in 4H and FFA. He earned his BS degree at Virginia Tech in Animal Science and went on to do his graduate work at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Upon completion of his graduate studies, Dr. Blemings worked at a post-doctoral associate at Wisconsin until taking a position in West Virginia University’s Division of Animal and Nutritional Sciences in 1999.
Dr. Vester is interested in how people conceptualized rights, interests, and responsibilities and how they acted upon such things during the centuries between the Middle Ages and the beginning of the modern era. He has studied these problems in the contexts of taxation, kinship and noble networking, village life and local politics, and institutional relationships between church and state. He is inclined toward microanalysis and most of his work has been based in the archives of the Sabaudian lands - the states straddling the Western Alps, formerly ruled by the House of Savoy.
