Hi, This is Barbara in den Bosch.

I have been teaching World History and International Relations at St. Anne's Belfield in Charlottesville, Virginia for 12 years. Before that I taught World History and International Relations at Colorado Springs School, the International School of Kuala Lumpur, the International School of Tanzania, and Harar Meda Model School in Ethiopia. I started as a Peace Corps ESL/English teacher in Opol and Marawi in the Southern Philippines. I was married to a Dutchman for a while (hence the name) and have two children Bernard (a lawyer) 40 and Nicole (an illustrator)
39.

I travel and attend workshops as often as I can in order to figure out what is happening in the world around me. I have a BA in Asia history from Stanford University, an MA in African history from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and have spent most of my life teaching about Europe and the Middle East. I used to play tennis tournaments but am at present an avid (if not very talented) bicyclist. I have been trying hard, especially for the last 12 years, to understand Islam and the Middle East. This will be my first trip to the Maghreb, and I am very excited.
