Gosch is a professor emeritus of history at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. He also taught courses in the history of Japan, 19th and 20th century Europe and Marco Polo's world, as well as a popular team-taught interdisciplinary course on the Vietnam War, which he developed with a colleague in political science.
