Bio:

Dr. Skonieczny is an Associate Professor at San Francisco State University in the International Relations Department. Her research interests include Populism and Foreign Policy, Narratives and US Trade Politics, and the study of national identity and foreign policy discourses. She completed her Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Minnesota. She holds an MA in International Relations from San Francisco State University and a BA in Political Science from Humboldt State University.

Dr. Skonieczny is currently working on several projects on the rise of populism in the United States and its impact on US trade policy. Her forthcoming chapter titled, “Populism and Trade: The 2016 US Presidential Election and the Death of the Trans-Pacific Partnership” will appear in the volume Global Populisms edited by Dirk Nabers, Frank Stengel and Robert Pateman in the fall of 2018. She is a board member of the new journal Populism, co-editor of a forthcoming (2019) special issue in the journal, and participated in the ISA 2017 Workshop on Populism in Baltimore, MD. She has also published articles on US Trade politics. Her most recent publications include a forthcoming article (2018) in Review of International Political Economy titled “Trading with the Enemy: Narrative, Identity and US Trade Politics”, “Corporate Lobbying and Foreign Policy” (2017) in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics, Playing Partners: Expectation, Entanglement, and Language Games in US Foreign Policy (2014) in International Relations. Her reflections on her first publication “Constructing NAFTA: Myth, Representations and the Discursive Construction of US Foreign Policy” (2001) will appear in the forthcoming (2018) volume Tactical Constructivism as Methods: Expression and Reflection edited by Brent Steele, Harry Gould and Oliver Kessler. She has also published in the journal Alternatives and International Studies Quarterly. Her complete list of publications can be found at her website: https://sfsu.academia.edu/AmySkonieczny.

Dr. Skonieczny is an experienced and dedicated teacher. She has spent over a decade in the university classroom, and devotes a considerable amount of her time working with students on developing student writing and creating meaningful research projects on a wide-variety of IR topics. Over the past few years, she has taken some of her teaching online and advocated for an online section of IR 550, the senior capstone course in IR.  In addition to advocating for student access to IR core curricula, Dr. Skonieczny led the charge in the IR department by applying for and winning a 2017 CSU grant to rethink the curriculum with student success towards degree in mind.

Dr. Skonieczny’s experience teaching writing as well as other courses has led to collaboration and excellence in student writing. In 2014, she collaborated with graduating IR senior, Giuliano Morse, to develop his IR 550 paper into a book-chapter titled, “Globalization and Occupy Wall Street,” that she co-authored in The SAGE Handbook of Globalization, edited by Manfred B. Steger, Paul Battersby and Joseph Siracusa. She has also helped develop student papers from her courses into conference papers delivered at the International Studies Association (both the annual meeting and the West Region). Since 2009 she has brought ten undergraduate students and five graduate students to ISA conferences and her 2015 undergraduate student won the best undergraduate paper award at ISA West. She is always looking for ways to inspire students to write at a higher academic level and to think about writing for a broader audience. She has presented her thoughts on teaching in several roundtables on pedagogy at the International Studies Association conferences and in a forthcoming book chapter titled “Teaching Writing as Social Justice” in the (2019) book Journeys in Teaching World Politics, edited by Jamie Frueh.

Bio:

Dr. Candace Low is interested in the evolution of behavioral and social strategies and impacts on ecological dynamics. Her areas of expertise are experimental design and statistics, plant-herbivore-enemy systems, and the economics of interactions (game theory and evolution). She teaches: Biometry, Ecology, Evolution, and Data Science. She has served as the Advisor for the SFSU Student Chapter of the Wildlife Society from 2016-2022 and as a Financial Literacy Coach through the REACH program in the Ethnic Studies Department in 2023. She is currently the departmental representative for the Lecturer Faculty in Biology with the California Faculty Association, on the steering committee of the Equity for Lecturer Faculty subcommittee, the Education Chair on the board of the California Native Plant Society-Yerba Buena, and a member of the steering committee for the Reimagining San Francisco Alliance (California Academy of Sciences).

Dr. Low was the first of her family born in the U.S., in the historic Chinese Hospital in Chinatown, San Francisco -- when the maternity ward was just a small 4-room suite (and happens to be the same place where Bruce Lee was born!) She's proud to be a native San Franciscan and to share in the city's rich Asian American heritage. Both of her parents died before she started college at UC Berkeley, but she persevered independently and earned a bachelor's degree in Integrative Biology, fulfilling her parent's hope that she would (be the first) go to college. She later earned a master's degree in Conservation Biology at SF State, and then a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Barbara. There she pioneered a research program that she continued to develop as PI with a prestigious NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology (to study theoretical ecology at Cornell University). She returned to SF State in 2013 to serve her community, as outlined by the CSU Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) which had been awarded to her after completion of her MA 13 years prior. She continues to advance the ideals of academic scholarship, freedom of speech, equality, and environmental and social justice.

Bio:

Betty Yu is a Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences and a managing co-editor of the Journal of Critical Study of Communication and Disability. Her research and clinical interests are in how communication access among racially-minoritized, disabled children in multilingual communities are shaped by institutional practices/policies, family socialization, and dominant ideologies about race/language/disability. She has investigated the communication and socialization experiences of autistic children in Bay Area Chinese communities as they and their families interact with disability services, school systems, and healthcare. Another strand of her work focuses on issues of equity in the field of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (SLHS), particularly the systemic influences of raciolinguistic discrimination, ableism and pathologization. 

She employs different empirical methods including discourse analysis, conversation analysis, phenomenological interviewing, and ethnography. She is a member of the Conversation Analysis Research in Autism (CARA) research group. She teaches courses related to child language development, social communication development, culturally and linguistically responsive practices and counseling in the speech-language-hearing sciences. She is the co-director of Project ASCEND, a project funded by the U.S. Department of Education to prepare speech-language therapists to support communication access for autistic students who are non-speaking, limited speaking, or who prefer not to speak. She is a advisory board member to the Asian Pacific Islander Speech-Langugage-Hearing Caucus.

As a behavioral ecologist I am interested in evolutionary and ecological processes that generate the broad diversity of animal behavior. Our research focuses on the evolution of social behaviors such as parental care, brood parasitism and cooperative breeding. Most recently we have focused on the roles of mutualism and parasitism in social evolution. Our general approach is to develop mathematical models that are applicable to a broad range of animals and to test the predictions of these (and other) models using laboratory and field experiments.
