INTERNATIONAL STUDIES CONSULTING AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Active Teaching and Learning Workshop, Institute for International Relations, University of Brasilia, October 2006: This two-day workshop, developed in collaboration with Professors Kent Kille and Matthew Krain, introduced international relations professors and graduate students interested in academic careers to active teaching and learning strategies practiced by teacher-scholars around the world. The workshop included presentations and interactive designed to achieve educational objectives in international studies. Presentations focused on the rationale for and philosophy behind active teaching and learning, resources available to develop and use exercises, and the range of applications that have evolved in the growing information society. We presented information on role-playing simulations, structured debates, teaching case studies, policy-making exercises, the use of internet technology, and teaching with film. We also discussed the importance of debriefing and assessment for active teaching. While the workshop will explore a wide variety of exercises, our emphasis is on encouraging instructors to engage with the materials and to promote critical dialogue about innovations in teaching.
Active Teaching and Learning Approaches for International Studies Courses: I have designed and led workshops on active teaching and learning techniques for international studies courses at professional conferences and on university and college campuses. I have also provided consultation on specific techniques, such as role-playing simulations and structured debate exercises, for faculty members at Columbia University, Manhattan College, The University of Cincinnati, Yale University, The Ohio State University, Wilmington College, Wheeling Jesuit University, and Guilford College, 1996-present.
Curriculum Development: Representative of The College of Wooster to the “Integrating Liberal Learning and International Education: Theoretical Frameworks and Best Practices” conference, organized by the Global Partners Project, the Associated Colleges of the Midwest, the Great Lakes Colleges Association, and Associated Colleges of the South (in conjunction with a grant from the Mellon Foundation), Chicago, Illinois, June 2001. Developed an “Agenda for Comprehensive Internationalization at The College of Wooster,” and assisted members of the International Education Committee with successful grant proposals for a new international student diplomat program and faculty study/travel program for course development. I have also participated in several of Wooster study abroad programs.
Curriculum Reviews: I have served as an external reviewer for curricula in Political Science and International Relations for DePauw University, Mount Union College, and Heidelberg College. I also directed a review of the politics and government curriculum for the Institute for the International Education of Students Programs in Freiburg, Germany (IES-Freiburg), and Vienna, Austria (IES-Vienna), 1998-1999.
