Anne’s research interests focus on the interplay between education and democracy with a focus on the cross-cultural praxis of free speech, and the field of international education that she experienced through her multilingual and inter-disciplinary training in Global History, Political Philosophy, and Asian Studies at the Paris Institute of Political Studies, Columbia University, and Beijing Language and Culture University.
A French native speaker who is fluent in English and proficient in Chinese, Anne has advanced knowledge of Japanese and Spanish, and she is increasing her expertise in comparative educational models by pursuing a dual master’s in teaching & learning at the Paris Sorbonne and the New Zealand University of Canterbury, along with her IB teaching certification at the University of Toronto’s Institute for Studies in Education.
Anne brings a wealth of experience from teaching a wide range of students of all ages in the Humanities, organizing international trips, advising students, crafting cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary programs for the Language & Culture Institute she created, and inspiring her students to “analyze and question the world” around them while “falling in love with learning.”
