I taught two undergraduate courses in a KIIS study abroad program in Costa Rica during the Summer of 2015, Environmental Science and Global Environmental Change.

My students and I explored ecotourism and its successes and criticisms; the pros and cons of different ways of producing coffee (and the varieties of ways coffee is processed); and how diversity can be defined and measured. My twins, Kate and Sara, went with me. Here are my photos
