INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

Higher education consulting for media, film, and cross-cultural programs: curriculum design, program review, international partnerships, Fulbright strategy, and community-based storytelling

GLOBAL MEDIA PROGRAM DESIGN

Curriculum, Labs, and Learning Space Strategy

Support for colleges and universities developing or rethinking media and communication programs that connect documentary practice, participatory production, and emerging technologies. Services include curriculum planning, teaching-and-learning space design, and practical guidance for programs that want to move beyond theory and actually function in the real world.

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES AND PARTNERSHIPS

India, South Africa, and Beyond

Advising on the design of reciprocal, sustainable partnerships between U.S. institutions and collaborators abroad. This includes exchange planning, program framing, stakeholder alignment, and the less glamorous but essential work of making sure the partnership is ethical, workable, and not just a press-release fantasy.

COMMUNITY MEDIA AND DOCUMENTARY PEDAGOGY

Ethics, Collaboration, and Public-Facing Storytelling

Consulting for faculty and programs that want to teach documentary as a form of shared authorship rather than extraction. Work can include workshop design, critique of assignments and syllabi, and guidance on how to build community-collaboration models that are thoughtful, culturally grounded, and useful to students.

FULBRIGHT AND GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY

Institutional Support and Faculty Development

Advising institutions on how to develop stronger international profiles through faculty partnerships, strategic visibility, and well-designed global opportunities. Drawing on multiple Fulbright awards and long experience in higher education, this work is especially useful for schools that need clear advice on what is possible, what is not, and what actually deserves the institution’s time.
