Irene was a Faculty Fellow in the Global Studies Division of Stanford University

During the academic year 2018-2019, she was named a Fellow in the Education Partnership for Internationalizing Curriculum (EPIC), which brings together faculty and academic staff to work collaboratively with colleagues at Stanford for one academic year on projects aimed at internationalizing course curricula and producing innovative curricular materials for use in community college classrooms. Fellows represent a broad disciplinary cross-section, including the humanities, social sciences, mathematics and hard sciences.

Although the EPIC fellowship is open to all California community college faculty and academic staff, her selection in 2018 with colleague Andrew Hill (Philosophy) was the first time the program selected fellows from outside of the state of California.

This competitive program brings together a cohort of ten faculty members and academic staff from various disciplines (humanities, social sciences, mathematics, hard sciences, international programs, etc.) to work collaboratively with Stanford staff for one academic year (August-May) on self-designed projects aimed at developing global competencies and awareness among community college students. Beginning with a three-day summer intensive workshop at Stanford University, fellows meet for real-time online seminars each month during which they will explore cutting-edge research in global studies with Stanford faculty and staff and develop innovative curricular materials and extra-academic programs to implement in their classrooms and at their home campuses. The fellowship culminates at an end-of-year symposium at Stanford University that brings together faculty and administrators from community colleges and four-year universities committed to fostering global studies on their campuses.

Irene continues to collaborate with her colleagues at Stanford University through the Stanford Global Educators Network...
