About Me

I am an Associate Professor of Practice in the International and Transcultural Studies Department at Teachers College, Columbia University. I am the Program Director and teach courses in the International and Comparative Education Program. I earned my doctorate in International Educational Development with a specialization in International Humanitarian Issues in 2008, also from Teachers College.
My research interests include education in emergencies, refugee education and urban refugees. I am also interested in the quality, relevance and sustainability of educational support provided by international organizations for displaced children and youth in conflict-affected and post-conflict countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
My more recent project work and research entail teacher professional development for refugee and national teachers providing education to refugees in Kenya.
