Ed Webb’s Summary

Did diplomacy for a while, had some fun, acquired some skills and knowledge. Then chucked it in for a career in teaching, which was completely the right move - I'm having a ball. My undergraduate degree - Arabic, Turkish, Middle East history and culture - together with those years working in government, particularly my time in Egypt, and a PhD in political science from Penn combine to make me a pretty good teacher of politics. It is all coming together in the launch of the new Middle East Studies major at Dickinson College, one of the most internationally-minded of liberal arts colleges anywhere. Life is good.

Ed Webb’s Specialties:

Middle East history, languages, politics, culture. Comparative and international politics. New technology in pedagogy, including games and simulations as learning tools. Fun.
