About me

I'm a political scientist by training and my research centers on experiential learning; teaching research methods; simulations, games, and wargaming; and teaching political violence and conflict. My people are: cat people, gamers, foodies, bakers, chocoholics, 80s movie fans, logic puzzle fans, and travelers.
