In addition to his regular rotation of courses, Glenn has also taught courses on Nordic explorers, disaster films, and movie musicals. Glenn is currently working on a book manuscript about the Swedish minority population in Estonia during the Second World War as the region passed from independent to occupations by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany; during that time frame, the majority of the Swedish population fled to Sweden as wartime refugees. He also researches and teaches on propaganda, with a recent interest in political stickers as urban propaganda. During summer months, he routinely works as an expert lecturer with Smithsonian Journeys on tours through Scandinavia, around the Baltic and North Seas, and the Rhine River Valley.
