Last year we introduced Christopher Teal, the Institute’s Public Diplomacy Fellow for 2022-2024. As a GW alumnus, he has enjoyed his time back on campus and now being on the “other side of the academic fence”, teaching an undergraduate course in public diplomacy. In this video interview with GW Graduate Fellow Mohamad Fayaz Yourish, Chris talks about how he integrates his practical insights from the diplomacy field into his classes.
In his long diplomatic career, Chris has been the director of the State Department’s Career Development and Assignments Mid-Level Division. His extensive overseas assignments include serving as Consul General in Nogales, Mexico, and various public affairs positions in countries like Sri Lanka, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic.
