Faculty Spotlight
Marianne Ward-Peradoza is provost of St. Edward's University and an expert in global studies and economic development. In her own words, "I am particularly drawn to cases in which countries with similar resources or opportunities eventually take different paths. I am interested in understanding why some countries may appear to outperform expectations, 其他国家可能表现不佳. I am also fascinated by countries that have had persistent and long-term success. An understanding of the key factors contributing to this success can provide insights that may advance economic development and standards of living across the globe."
