Conflict Studies program in 2010 &nbsp;as &nbsp;Assistant &nbsp;Professor, shortly before earning a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto with a joint specialty in international relations and comparative politics.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Prior to settling down in Indianapolis, Ooi studied and worked in many different parts of Asia, Europe, and North America. Her lived experiences have shaped&nbsp;Ooi into a dedicated educator who believes strongly in the importance of critical global citizenship education in the United States. At Butler, she teaches courses in international relations and Asian politics with the express purpose of helping students to understand that there are many different ways of being in this world. She particularly encourages students to seek better solutions to global problems by re-imagining new possibilities for a better world. Ooi grew up in Singapore and Malaysia. Since 2017,&nbsp;Ooi has also led students to Malaysia and Singapore on the Butler in Asia program, which offers students the unique opportunity to live and work in Asia for 7 weeks in the summer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As an affiliate faculty of the Race, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program, Ooi also believes in a diverse, inclusive, and equitable learning and working environment for all. At Butler, she works closely with senior administration in her role as the Director of Academic Affairs for DEI. In terms of curricular affairs, she is also responsible for Asian and Pacific American representation in the Core Curriculum, as she led a team of excellent colleagues in the development of GHS 212: Asian Americas. She works closely with students as well and is the faculty advisor of the student group Asian and Pacific Islander Alliance (APIA).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Although Ooi&#8217;s research expertise is in democratic development and human rights in East Asia, she has expanded the scope of her research in response to issues and problems beyond her core interest. More recently, her scholarship addresses peace building on the Korean Peninsula, US-China relations, global education, the well-being of faculty in teaching-focused institutions &nbsp;and &nbsp;the &nbsp;leadership &nbsp;experiences &nbsp;of &nbsp;minoritized &nbsp;faculty. She also believes in integrating teaching and scholarship and has mentored students in the research and publication process at Butler.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In her personal time, Ooi enjoys the company of her husband, daughter and a pet hamster named Coco. She is also an active member of the Asian and Pacific American community in Indianapolis. She is on the Board of the Indianapolis Chinese Community Center, Inc., &nbsp;the Council of the Indiana Association of Chinese Americans, and is also a member &nbsp;of &nbsp;Hoosier &nbsp;Asian &nbsp;American &nbsp;Power.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Teaching Expertise:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>International Relations, US-China Relations, East and Southeast Asian Politics, Chinese Politics, Human Rights and Humanitarianism, International Political Economy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Research Specialization:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Comparative Democratization, Transnational Activism, Human Rights, East Asian Politics and International Relations, Global Citizenship Education<\/p>\n<p><strong>Education:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>PhD Political Science<\/em><\/p>\n<p>University of Toronto (Canada)<\/p>\n<p><em>MA (Southeast Asian Studies)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>National University of Singapore (Singapore)<\/p>\n<p><em>LLB (Bachelor of Laws, with Honors)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>University College London (United Kingdom)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/works.bepress.com\/sumei_ooi\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>Awards\/Fellowships<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Korea Foundation Fellowship<\/p>\n<p>Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Fellowship<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan Foundation for Democracy Fellowship<\/p>\n<p>Dr. David Chu Scholarship<\/p>\n<p>Political Science Award, University of Toronto&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Volkswagen Foundation Fellowship&nbsp;<br>\n<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p><\/p><\/div> <!-- #acc-sooi --><\/div> <!-- #accordion-group --><\/div> <!-- .directory__card --><\/div> <!-- .directory-cards --><\/section>\n\n<section id=\"block_directory_69f57e0d72129\" class=\"directory vertical\"><header class=\"directory__heading\"style=\"justify-content: space-between;\"><h2>Administrative Specialist<\/h2><\/header><div class=\"directory-cards directory-cards-vertical\"><div class='directory__card'><div class='directory__cardName'>Linda Cooley <\/div><div class='directory__cardImage'><img class='directory__cardImg' src='https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/images\/logos\/bulldog_4cp_1-4w.png' alt='' \/><\/div><div class=\"directory__cardContent\"><div class=\"directory__cardTitle\"><strong>Administrative Specialist &#8211; Political Science and Peace &#038; Conflict Studies<\/strong><\/div><div class='directory__cardPhone'><a href='tel:317-940-9872'>317-940-9872<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='directory__cardEmail'><a href='mailto:lcooley@butler.edu'>lcooley@butler.edu<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div> <!-- .directory__card --><\/div> <!-- .directory-cards --><\/section>\n\n<section id=\"block_directory_69f57e0dabede\" class=\"directory vertical\"><header class=\"directory__heading\"style=\"justify-content: space-between;\"><h2>Faculty &#038; Staff<\/h2><\/header><div class=\"directory-cards directory-cards-vertical\"><div class='directory__card'><div class='directory__cardName'>Chad Bauman <\/div><div class='directory__cardImage'><img class='directory__cardImg' src='https:\/\/cdn-dev.butler.edu\/cbauman-2p9dMGb3y25_9MY2QFOUt-photo.jpg' alt='Headshot of Chad Bauman' \/><\/div><div class=\"directory__cardContent\"><div class=\"directory__cardTitle\"><strong>Professor &#8211; Religion<\/strong><\/div><div class='directory__cardPhone'><a href='tel:317-940-8705'>317-940-8705<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='directory__cardEmail'><a href='mailto:cbauman@butler.edu'>cbauman@butler.edu<\/a><\/div><\/div><div id='accordion-group' class='accordion'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button id='person-cbauman'\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttype='button' class='button-link-right directory__cardMoreButton accordion-trigger'\n\t\t\t\t\t\taria-controls='acc-cbauman'\n\t\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded='false' >\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMore About Chad Bauman\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='directory__cardBio accordion-panel' id='acc-cbauman' role='region' aria-labledby='person-cbauman' hidden><p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><strong>Biography<\/strong><br>\nProfessor Bauman grew up in eastern Pennsylvania before going to Goshen College, in Northern Indiana, where he earned a Bachelor\u2019s degree.
