My research is primarily in the fields of economic growth, development, and international trade. Here's my c.v.Â
I'll teach ECO 202 (Principles of Macroeconomics) in Fall 2026 (here's a little about the last time I taught it). I regularly teach ECO 347 (Economic Development), and have also recently taught ECO 315 (Intermediate Microeconomics) and ECO 420I (Economic Growth).I'm looking forward to co-leading a study-abroad program in Brazil in January 2027, Global Brazil: Economics & Culture from Bahia to Rio, and co-led a 1-week program in Ecuador in May 2026, Ecuador: Community, Culture, & Development in the Andean Highlands (more about the Ecuador program here and here).In summer 2024, I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a Fulbright-Hays seminar on climate change and sustainability in Colombia - you can read a little about it here, here, and here. And in summer 2025, I traveled to Ecuador with Miami colleagues on a trip exploring potential study abroad/experiential learning opportunities with the Tandana Foundation - here's a little about that trip (and here's a little more).I moved to Miami in 2022 from the University of Kentucky, where I regularly taught Economics 402 (Intermediate Macroeconomics), Economics 499 (an undergraduate seminar course on the Economics of Africa), Economics 602 (the first macroeconomics course in the Ph.D. sequence), and Economics 762, a Ph.D. field course in macroeconomics.
I was a Fulbright Scholar in Belgium in 2012. While at the University of Kentucky, I directed the Ph.D. program in economics from 2015-18, chaired the University's Senate Advisory Committee on Promotion and Tenure (SACPT) from 2017-19, and directed UK's Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) from 2018-19. I also served on the advisory boards of UK's Center for Equality and Social Justice (CESJ) and the United in True Racial Equity (UNITE) Research Priority Area.
