Jo Beth Mertens has taught economics at Hobart and William Smith Colleges since 1997. In December 2005, she was named New York State Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. In addition to her teaching duties in public finance, sports economics, statistics and econometrics, Professor Jo Beth Mertens works as a fiscal consultant for such giants as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
Iva Deutchman has more than 20 years of academic experience in both Australia and North America. She lives, breathes, writes and talks about politics and has taught courses that delve into Reality Television; Modern American Conservatism; and Ideological Media, among others. She is always ready for a lively debate or an educated discussion - or both at the same time, and when The New York Times, The Washington Post and other national media want a memorable, colorful quote that cuts to the heart of religion, race or gender in politics, as well as voting trends and patterns, they look to this political expert. |
