G. Pascal Zachary is a professor of practice at Arizona State University, where he teaches a seminar on technology, development and sub-Saharan Arica. He regularly speaks to media about African affairs.

"No audience is too small for me to launch into a dissertation on some obscure topic," Zachary says. "Here I am (photo above) in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi, speaking to a group of journalists. I rarely miss the chance to meet with African scribes who always teach me more than I teach them."

While writing is his preferred mode of expression, Zachary has reported and directed a few television documentaries, in colloboration with the San Francisco film-maker David Winton. On radio, he's worked closely since 1981 with radio documentarist Corey Dubin, whose Coyote Radio radio productions air on non-commercial stations in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.

He has taught journalism and writing at Stanford University and the University of California Graduate School of Journalism. He has served as editorial trainer for Stanford's Innovation Journalism program.

On Africa, he has lectured at UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, the University of Puget Sound, Colorado College and Stanford University.

On science, technology and society, he's lectured at the Tampa Bay Technology Forum (Florida), the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, DC), Tufts University, the California Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other colleges and universities.

On diversity, identity and globalization, he has lectured in Britain, Germany, Iceland and Ghana.
