Since joining the Wilkes faculty in 2014, Kuiken has taught courses in European and global history, focusing on themes of geopolitics, economics, energy, and the trade of commodities and ideas. These teaching themes also inform his scholarship which currently concentrates on the completion of his manuscript entitled Empires of Energy: Britain, British Petroleum, Shell and the remaking of the international oil industry, 1957-1983.
