"I cherish the opportunity to bring my academic research and professional activities to bear on my teaching in the classroom, whether in Asian Studies or in International Migration Policy Studies. "Staying current" in the field is essential in teaching and learning at MIIS. It energizes both the instructor and the students, and, in the end, helps to prepare the students for the professional careers they seek. When I read a student's policy memo or research paper that effectively integrates her/his knowledge of the field and knowledge of the countries/regions concerned, I see the fruits of my labor. And this happens often here at MIIS."
