Dr. Craig Hanson, MA, Ph.D
Dr. Hanson is an applied scholar and researcher with expertise in the intersection of philosophical ideas and the economy of human behavior. Using this expertise, he has engaged in a career of articulating new solutions to old problems in International Development.
Dr. Hanson has lent his expertise to a large number of projects throughout the world – from Latin America to Southeast Asia – ranging from small faith-based endeavors to large public-private initiatives. A guiding principle of these activities has been the conviction that development requires more than just one focal point, be it religious, governmental, or in the private sector. Only through the effective intersection of these often competing sets of interests can forward progress be made in those places that need it most.
Dr. Hanson has lectured throughout the united states as well as Europe and Africa. He speaks, lectures, and writes in French and English and has conversational competence in a variety of other languages from Spanish to tribal languages of West Africa.
He is currently engaged in a variety of projects related to the intersection of the public sector and private interests as well as the ever-changing landscape of American Philanthropy.
Dr. Hanson currently serves as an Associate Professor and Director of the International Development program at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
