I am an experienced educator, university professor, and academic mentor with more than two decades of teaching experience in the United States and internationally. From 2006 to 2015, I served as Croft Associate Professor of International Studies and Anthropology at the University of Mississippi. I earned my M.A. in International Studies from the University of Denver and my Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from Boston University. At Boston University, I also worked as a teaching assistant and received the Outstanding Teaching Fellow Award. In Spring 2006, I taught a course at Tufts University. I hold a Massachusetts DESE teaching license in History/Social Science for grades 5–12. I currently teach at Northeastern University, where I teach courses in Globalization and International Affairs and International Political Economy. I have received numerous research grants and awards, including a Senior Fellowship at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and J.R. Peace Fellowship.
