Welcome to my web page!

Thanks to dramatic changes in communication, transportation and other
aspects of everyday life, contemporary society differs from the way people
lived in other eras. Distance and time have different meanings to us and to
the relationships we establish, leading us to reconsider concepts such as
self, family, community, and nation, to name but a few.

Our new reality also presents us with an assortment of old and new
developments, from labor market displacements and global economic
crises to increased international trade and migration, thereby challenging
us and the institutions we have created to come up with the appropriate
conceptual and policy solutions that can help us make sense of the world
and also contribute to the development of our potential as human beings.
After all, “progress” is not really progress unless we improve the lot of
humanity.

As someone with decades of professional experience in academia, the
policymaking process, and as a researcher, writer and consultant, I am
well qualified to assist public, educational, non-profit, private organizations
and agencies in the creation of innovative and effective solutions to their
policy, research, advocacy, program design and evaluation, educational,
training and informational needs.

The creation of a prosperous, inclusive, democratic and just society
requires our effective use of knowledge, imagination and human and
institutional resources. Let me help you meet your challenges!
