Jim Lee is the Associate Director for Technical Support and Training for the Center for Teaching Excellence and a faculty member in the School of International Service. As a faculty member, he was one of the first at AU to use the Web as part of teaching. Since then, he has created two online journals "Trade Environment Database" (TED) and the "Inventory of Conflict and Environment" (ICE), and a distance- learning project, the Global Classroom. While he has an abiding interest in the use of new technology, he firmly believes ideas must lead the way. With that in mind, his most recent book is "Exploring the Gaps: the Vital Links Between Trade, Environment and Culture". Under a faculty exchange grant, he is a part-time staff member at the US Environmental Protection Agency, working on policy and its relation to international environmental data and statistics. An avid gardener, he is interested in cultivation and how things grow.
