Dr. Brian Dille – What Can I Do?

We live in difficult times. Answering the question “What can I do?” will help you feel empowered to take meaningful action in your community.

Dr. Brian Dille

 

Description:

Lots of people are feeling anxious, even hopeless in the face of a seemingly endless stream of alarming actions. It feels like every week a new norm is violated and the institutions of our constitutional republic are further weakened. My friends, family, and colleagues keep asking me, “What can I do?” This is a fair question. Drawing on my study of politics and foreign policy for 25 years, I will provide an answer.

 

Bio:

Brian Dille grew up in Southeastern Idaho where he tired of the constant snow and wind. After attending college at Brigham Young University in Utah, he attended graduate school at Arizona State University. There he received a Ph.D. in Political Science, emphasizing foreign policy decision making. He has taught at Mesa Community College since 1999 and also teaches graduate courses in political psychology for ASU. In addition to teaching courses in world politics and American government, he directs the Model United Nations program. He published a textbook, Engaging the United Nations, designed to be used by high school and community college students. He also published Arizona Voices, a digital textbook designed to supplement U.S. history and government high school courses with Arizona-specific content that meets the state Social Science Standards. He co-directs the Arizona Civic Education Project, which offers free teaching materials to Arizona educators.

While brought to Arizona by his wife, Brian has developed a love for the state’s beauties and people. He is happy that his four children are 5th-generation Arizona natives.
