Robin David
My primary interest areas include refugee/immigrant integration, socioeconomic class, war, politics, and consumption. I teach social science and humanities courses on these subjects, and frequently use service-learning in doing so.
In addition to teaching, I coordinate our service-learning program, manage the program's tuition waivers, oversee the Sophomore Honors Portfolio process, and am responsible for general administration.
