Mentoring students is for me
one of the highlights of my profession.
Besides advising students on course work, I
support my students in making academic
presentations, publishing articles, writing
grant proposals, finding internships,
consultancies or jobs. I would like them to
see themselves as part of a larger academic
community that entails collaboration with
professors and students at other
universities, active participation in
professional associations (CIES and
disciplinary or area study associations
related to the research of the student) and
support of ongoing professional activities
at Teachers College, Columbia University (in
particular CICE). The students in the
international education programs are not
only academically of high caliber, but they
are also professionally experienced. The
students I work with have extensive
experience working in international
organizations, schools or universities
outside of the United States. Given the
resourcefulness of our students, I strongly
encourage peer networking and support.
I advise students across geographical
regions (except for North America), but am
most valuable as a mentor for students who
focus on Europe, post-socialist countries,
and the Middle East. At the doctoral level,
I only advise students interested in formal
education, in particular on topics related
to schools. Students who choose to be my
advisees are typically situated in the
following concentrations:
