TEACHING – ACADEMIC: 1991 - present
Areas of special interest
My teaching interests and various consultations focus on program evaluation, community health and
education, and process links among policy, program, and practice. Program evaluation has been an
educational and research vehicle for exploring how the ideas of policy and pedagogy are translated into
practice, especially as they relate to health and education. The comparative approach I use in teaching has
been informed by opportunities to teach in different settings and countries, most often with interdisciplinary
learners.
