Before joining the Macalester faculty in 2004, Paul Dosh taught comparative, Latin American, and urban politics at Carleton College and the University of California at Berkeley. He holds a B.A. in Political Science from Carleton (1996), a Ph.D. in Political Science from UC Berkeley (2004), and is the recipient of several teaching awards.
He teaches Foundations of Comparative Politics, Latin America Through Women's Eyes, Latin American Politics, Latino/a Politics, Urban Politics in Latin America, and Comparative Social Movements.
His publications on pedagogy, human rights, and urban segregation appear in the Political Science Educator, Latin American Perspectives, and Latin American Politics & Society, and he is writing a book about illegal land invasions in South American cities.
Paul became interested in Latin America while in Nicaragua during the Contra War, and he has since lived in Peru, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. He is involved in organizations working on immigration, sweatshop labor, and prisoner rights, and he enjoys talking with students (in English or Spanish) about their future plans at Macalester and beyond.
On Wednesday nights he can be found dancing salsa at the Quest.
