Teaching

I am grateful to have been awarded both of the student-nominated, university-wide teaching awards at Tufts, as one of the five Teaching With Technology awardees on two occasions (2019 and 2022), and also as the StAAR Center‘s Disability Advocate Awardee for 2021-22.  I was also awarded the Friedman School’s own Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year for 2019-20.

The content of my classes is summarized in the new introductory textbook, Food Economics: Agriculture, Nutrition and Health, with supporting materials at my teaching blog: https://sites.tufts.edu/foodeconomics.

More advanced students will want to use our 87-page chapter in the Handbook of Agricultural Economics, with over 300 citations to recent work on The economics of malnutrition: Dietary transition and food system transformation, also available as a PDF preprint.
