Andria Wisler joined Georgetown in Fall 2008 as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Program on Justice and Peace (PJP). Andria received her Ph.D. in Comparative and International Education and Philosophy from Columbia University and MA in International Educational Development and Peace Education from Teachers College. Her dissertation is an inquiry into peace knowledge as intellectual heritage and focuses on the development of peace studies in post Yugoslav higher education. She plans to pursue similar research in Turkey and to continue collaborative research on peace education and youth.

Andria's commitment to peace studies began as an undergraduate at the University of Notre Dame, and is a continuing thread through her work for social change in various parts of the world, including with farmers in Tanzania, youth in Turkmenistan, and teachers in Israel. After graduating from university, Andria began her vocation within education as a school teacher at an independent school, the Cornelia Connelly Center for Education, which serves low-income girls of the Lower East Side, New York City. She is now on the Board of Directors of that school and director of its summer camp programming in upstate New York. She is Chair of the Peace Education Special Interest Group of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Board member of the Community Institutes for Peace Education Global Initiative through the Peace Education Center at Teachers College.

Andria brings with her to Georgetown diverse undergraduate and graduate teaching experience from the European University Center for Peace Studies (Austria), Manhattan College, the University of Nevada, Reno, and Drexel University. At Georgetown, Andria teaches the introductory course on justice and peace as well as courses in conflict transformation. She enjoys traveling, playing the piano, and keeping in touch with friends around the world and plans to remain an engaged, politically active person using education for positive social change.
