Faculty and Administration

Associate Professor and Director, School in Brazil

Sean grew up in the Pacific Northwest and studied abroad in Germany and Russia. He has a Ph.D. in German Studies from Stanford University. Somehow Sean got lost on his way to writing his dissertation in Berlin and ended up in Rio de Janeiro instead, where he has lived for over 15 years. Sean most appreciates the outdoors and street life in Rio, where he enjoys hanging out in public parks with his son and friends, swimming, biking, and hiking.
