Subject: Education in Vietnam

Dear Anh,
        Having just completed my Master of Science degree in Environmental Science, I would like to teach Environmental Education (EE). EE is essential as a foundation for sustainable development. I believe my accumulated knowledge and education will have the most social benefit by educating students, and the populace, of the importance of environmental issues relating to human development. Additionally, I think EE is under-represented in the field of education on a global scale. I believe EE should integrate social and scientific disciples, architecture and urban planning, public policy, and economics in order to be effective.
        My wide range of education offers flexibility in the subjects I can teach. Here are a few courses I am capable of teaching:
Environmental Science
        Physical Meteorology and Climatology
        Ecological Climatology
        Environmental Physics
        Environmental Chemistry
        Applied Ecology
Energy
        Sustainable Energy Systems
        Energy Analysis and Markets
        Energy Economics and Policy
International Development
        Global Governance
        Development Economics
        Climate Law and Policy
        Benefit-Cost Analysis of Public and Environmental Policies
Architecture and Environmental Design
        Architectural Design
        Environmental Design
        Environmental Building Systems
        Green Building Techniques and Practices
        Urban Planning
        The History of Architecture
The English Language
        I would like to teach in Vietnam for a number of reasons: its stage of economic growth and development; my interest of international development and climate change; its climate and culture; and the kindness of the Vietnamese people I met at SPEA. My particular interest is in rapidly developing countries, and their unique opportunity to create a sustainable infrastructure during their early development. I have an understanding of Vietnam's cultural and economic development, and did a number of research projects on Vietnam in graduate school. I have rudimentary knowledge of the Vietnamese language from a year of classes, meeting with Vietnamese language partners, and independent study. I have a passion for teaching and tutoring, while both of my parents were teachers.
            I am particularly interested in teaching in Hanoi, because of its universities and intellectual heritage; as well as reuniting with the SPEA alumni who reside there. Please let me know of any opportunities or needs I can fulfill in Vietnam. I hope to be arriving in Hanoi in the middle of July.
Sincerely,
Paul V. Ripley
