Dr. Courtney Dorroll is a co-coordinator of the college’s Middle Eastern/Northern African Studies (MENA) program. She teaches courses on Middle Eastern studies as well as ethnography and self-care, and she dedicates her scholarly studies to the scholarship of teaching and learning, finding ways to make classrooms more inclusive and sustainable, and self-care as a form of leadership and a pedagogical approach. She received her B.A. from Purdue University, her M.A. from Indiana University and her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona.
