Episode 24: Dr. Noah Zerbe on Teaching Tactics and the Art of Poli Sci

Welcome back to Yeah, I Got an F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree! We are on the road for this week's episode and coming to you from the floor of the Midtown Hilton in New York City. Our guest Dr. Noah Zerbe and Dean Crane were in town for the Model UN, which eight Cal Poly Humboldt students attended. Any background noise you here is just a part of the hotel environment! Dr. Noah Zerbe is a Professor of Political Science at Cal Poly Humboldt. His areas of expertise include Food politics, alternative food systems, and political economy. He received his Ph.D. in international political economy from York University in Toronto in 2002. In his research, he is interested in exploring the intersection of politics, economics, and technology. He has published pieces on questions arising from technological innovation in agriculture, particularly the debate over genetically modified foods in Europe, the United States, and Southern Africa. His current work is focused, looking at the local food movement as a response to technological and economic imperatives of globalization. Noah shares about his early interest in Political Science, engaging assignments, grading tactics and the Model UN in practice and in relation to the actual United Nations.
