Allow me to share a little bit of what I learned this year as a first year professor.

My experience in the first course of the Thunderbird/ASU Certificate in Global Management, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation program.

Education relies on trust, but in our anti-institutional age, trust is hard to come by.

It has been an interesting journey, to say the least.

Academia tends to reward sticking to your guns. It should reward humbly admitting your shortcomings.

Most disciplines have dominant views. Academic echo chambers are directly opposed to the purpose of the academy itself.

Academic conferences can serve an important function by forwarding the goal of academic freedom.

We waste so many opportunities when we do this.

I do little bit of everything, but I'm okay with that.

Asking interpretive questions provides a better conversational foundation than “my truth.”

Fear brings out either totalitarian or paralytic impulses that need to be avoided at all costs.

A look inside my mind as I prepared for my dissertation defense.

Studying online is here to stay, but not all programs are created equal. I believe there are a few key elements that create a good educational program online.

I wish someone would have told me some of these things before I began pursuing my Ph.D.

Classrooms fall apart if there is no trust. As educators, we need to create the right environment for students to flourish.
