For almost 30 years, I’ve been both a tenured and a nontenured university professor of interdisciplinary politics and international relations since 1995, beginning my pre-doctoral teaching career at Middlesex County College, and my post-doctoral teaching at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), Columbia University. I went on to teach comparative, African, and world politics, global affairs, and development studies at Rutgers University, Long Island University Brooklyn, the University of Delaware, Michigan State University, and currently, the University of Massachusetts Boston. I am currently a full, tenured professor of global governance in the department of conflict resolution, human security and global governance at UMass Boston.
