Expertise

I have had the fortune of working in North and Central America and in Europe and the Mediterranean region, with over thirty years of experience in researching, writing, teaching, public speaking and developing and implementing projects and advocacy campaigns. As a researcher, trainer, public speaker and activist, I have participated in conferences, festivals and forums in North America, the Middle East and Europe, which have granted me insight into both what differentiates us and what binds us as global citizens in this era.
