Mary D'Ambrosio

I specialize in writing about international affairs, and over the past 10 years have taught journalism at New York University, Columbia University and the New School. I'm the founding editor of Big World Magazine, an online magazine devoted to narrative and multimedia reporting about places.

As an editor at Global Finance magazine and a Latin America reporter for the Associated Press and other publications, I covered seminal events in the developing world, from the Mexican debt crisis and the North American Free Trade Agreement to Russia's emergence from the former USSR and Turkey's efforts to join the European Union.

My stories have appeared in Institutional Investor, Islands and Working Woman magazines, and in the San Francisco Chronicle, Newsday, the Miami Herald and the Worldpaper.

I have a B.S. in journalism from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications, and a master's in economic history from the London School of Economics.

I also direct a summer foreign reporting program in Istanbul, Turkey, for the Institute for Education in International Media and San Francisco State University, and serve on the editorial board of Abroad View, a national magazine that encourages study abroad.
