I teach in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. I am an Associate Professor of Global Health in the Science, Technology and International Affairs Program and serves as concentration Lead for Global Health.
Now more than ever, science and technology are at the heart of international affairs. The Science, Technology and International Affairs (STIA) major equips students with the knowledge, skills and confidence to engage with the challenges and opportunities this presents. Students follow the regular SFS core curriculum, enroll in core science courses and develop an in depth understanding of one of our areas of concentration: Energy and Environment; Business, Growth and Development; Biotechnology and Health; or Science, Technology and Security. Pre-med and pre-engineering options are possible.
