I am a university professor and a consultant to non-governmental and governmental organizations in the field of social sciences and International and Comparative law. After an academic career, and humanitarian and legal work in Europe, I came to teach and do research in the United States, recognized as a “person of extraordinary ability” by the US government. I have done research at UC Berkeley and since 1996 I have taught many courses at CSU East Bay.
Besides my PhD in Social Sciences I hold advanced law degrees: JD, LLM and JSD, which has allowed me to teach different undergraduate and graduate courses across the disciplines in Law, Sociology, Political Science, Philosophy, Public Administration and Women Studies. I am also a certified Mediator and teach a course in Mediation and Conflict Resolution.

I have worked as an attorney in Europe and since 2000 I have appeared before the American courts as an expert. My work as a consultant in the field of human rights, conflict resolution and responsible use of genetic technologies has included governmental and non-governmental organizations like the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, The International Red Cross, US Congressional Office, The Center for Genetics and Society, The Alliance for Humane Biotechnology etc. I was the founding Director of The Human Rights Center at our university from 1998 to 2003.
