(CLASP), is delighted to have the best job in the world—challenging and cheering on
learners who are pursuing their goals. She has been involved in education of one form
or another all of her adult life, in cultures and places ranging from Appalachia to Alaska
to Germany. Before she began teaching in the Education Minor at Cornell, she taught in
undergraduate and graduate programs in Community and Organizational Leadership,
Public Policy, Gender Studies, and Appalachian Studies, as well as in Education. Currently
Annalisa teaches two courses, EDUC 2200, Introduction to Adult Learning and EDUC 2210,
Methods and Contexts of Adult Learning. She enjoys designing faculty development in
the scholarship of teaching (SoTL) and in community-engaged teaching and research. Her
scholarly interests occupy the nexus of participatory public realm, civic democracy, design
thinking and learning leadership. Annalisa does indeed have a Kentucky accent and is still
just a little bit proud of being a first generation college student at Berea College and going on
to complete a doctorate at Cornell.
