A newsletter highlighting faculty research & scholarship


October 2026

Faculty Spotlight

Ana Amaya, DrPH is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Science at Pace University’s College of Health Professions in New York City. Her research examines health policymaking and how global, international, and national institutions shape health outcomes, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Her recent work focuses on regional cooperation for health, including a paper co-authored over the summer with international colleagues in The Lancet Global Health, “Establishing the value of regional cooperation and a critical role for regional organisations in managing future health emergencies.” Through her involvement in the Latin American Platform for Action and Response for Health Emergencies (PARES), she also recently co-authored "Hantavirus: The need for a rapid regional response platform in Latin America" in The Lancet. Furthermore, she is highly engaged in advancing the field of health policy and systems research through her role as Vice-Chair of Health Systems Global, as well as in her scholarship exemplified in a recent paper published in Health Systems and Reform titled ‘What does the future hold for health policy and systems research?’. Finally, she has another paper in press in Globalization and Health titled “Where Does Subsidiarity Meet the Role of Regions in Pandemic Governance? A thematic synthesis of recommendations from COVID-19."



In addition, Prof. Amaya is co-Principal Investigator of the Building Regional Integration for Distributed Governance of Epidemics (BRIDGE) project, funded by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which examines how regional organizations in the Global South can strengthen pandemic preparedness and response. This work has informed her engagement with policymakers and international forums, including a United Nations General Assembly side event, “Rebalancing Global Health,” co-organized by the governments of Spain and Zambia in September where she spoke about her scholarship in a panel joined by former Presidents, current Ministers of Health and civil society representatives, and a presentation of BRIDGE study findings on Southeast Asia at the 2nd Southeast Asia Regional Forum on Public Health Emergencies, hosted by Monash University Malaysia.

Di Quon Wilms, MFA is an Assistant Professor and Program Head of the Acting for Film and Media (AFaM) BFA program, previously Acting for Film, Television, Voice Over and Commercials at Pace University’s Sands College of Performing Arts. An actor, writer, producer, director, and educator with more than two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, her work bridges professional filmmaking and experiential performing arts education. Her screen credits include Maid in Manhattan and Grown Ups, and she created and produced My Life…Disoriented, for PBS, which is recognized as the first Asian American dramedy on television.


Wilms’s research examines collaborative filmmaking as a model for experiential learning and the preparation of modern creative hyphenates. A central part of her pedagogical work explores the distinct demands of acting for film and television versus theatre, helping actors understand how performance techniques, storytelling, and the actor’s relationship to the camera differ across mediums. Her book Collaborative Educational Filmmaking Learning Across Campus for the Artistic Hyphenate (Routledge), that came out this month, explores how universities can bring together students, faculty, working professionals, and resources across disciplines to create professional-level film productions as educational experiences. Drawing on her graduate thesis film, Classics Undone, and her work developing the AFaM Junior Films at Pace, she examines how structured mentorship, interdisciplinary collaboration, and on-set learning can bridge the gap between classroom training and professional practice.


Her approach integrates professional production experience and medium-specific acting techniques into actor training, encouraging students to develop additional industry skills, create their own work, and build sustainable artistic careers. Her work centers on the belief that experiential learning is essential to preparing the next generation of adaptable, collaborative storytellers. More information about here work is available here.

Author Spotlight

Peter Marciano, MFA (Sands College of Performing Arts) co-authored (with Louis Colaianni) his first book Authentic Voice and Speech A Non-Prescriptive, Student-Centered Approach (Routledge). The book offers a groundbreaking, student-centered approach to voice and speech training that celebrates individuality and diversity.


This book moves beyond traditional, prescriptive methods to empower readers to embrace their unique voices as reflections of their identity, culture, and personal journey. Drawing inspiration from Kristin Linklater’s transformative teachings, Rosina Lippi-Green’s sociolinguistic insights, and the educational philosophies of Maria Montessori and Waldorf Schools, the authors present a holistic framework for vocal and speech development. Through step-by-step exercises, readers are guided to explore their authentic sound, develop a deeper connection with their audience, and achieve “intelligible eloquence”—a way of speaking that is both clear and deeply personal. The book challenges the constraints of phonetic systems like the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), instead celebrating linguistic diversity and the creative potential of individual expression.


Ideal for students, educators, and professionals in voice and speech training, actor training, and public speaking, Authentic Voice and Speech is a transformative guide for anyone seeking to discover and embrace the power of their own voice. Whether you’re pursuing courses in performance, communication, or education, this book will inspire you to celebrate the normalcy of difference and unlock your unique vocal potential.

Peter Marciano is an actor, director, and teacher from Syracuse, NY. He holds an MFA in Acting from The Actors Studio Drama School. He currently teaches in the MFA program at Pace University and serves as the Head of Voice and Speech for CAP21 at Molloy University. He has taught voice, movement, and acting at the MFA program at University of Southern California, The Linklater Voice Centre, American Academy of Dramatic Arts, New York Film Academy (serving as Head of Acting), KIMEMP University in Kazakhstan, and the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre. Prof. Marciano is a Designated Linklater Teacher, having studied Voice and Shakespeare under Kristin Linklater. He trained with Louis Colaianni and is a Certified Colaianni Speech Practitioner, specializing in phonetics and dialects. He has coached actors on Broadway, off-Broadway and National Tours, and leads workshops in acting, voice, and dialects.

Program Spotlight

Master of Public Administration Program receives national accolades 


Pace University's Master of Public Administration program, chaired by Gina Scutelnicu Todoran, PhD has received Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA’s) 2026 Social Equity Award. This award recognizes a program in public affairs that exemplifies the highest standards in promoting and supporting social equity through research, teaching or service. In her nomination letter, Scutelnicu Todoran detailed how the MPA program at Pace University exemplifies a strong commitment to promoting and supporting social equity, diversity and justice through its mission of educating and preparing the next generation of public service leaders according to the university's Opportunitas motto, through the research that faculty in the program produce and through the engagement of the MPA alumni.

Additionally, Prof. Scutelnicu Todoran, professor and chair of public administration, received the NASPAA’s 2026 Outstanding Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Book Award for her book, Managing Gender Inequity in Academia/ A Guide for Faculty and Administrators in Public Affairs Programs (Routledge). The recognition honors Scutelnicu Todoran’s important scholarship on gender equity in academia and her leadership in the field of public administration. The selection committee agreed that Prof. Scutelnicu Todoran demonstrates quality of theoretical grounding, significance of topic and findings, quality of writing, argument, and supporting evidence, creativity, and pedagogical value. This is a very useful book for all faculty who are applying for tenure and/or promotion, those who aspire to be university administrators and for doctoral students who want to pursue a career in higher education.

Together, these awards reflect the strength and values of Pace’s MPA program, which draws on and values the diversity of its students, faculty, alumni, and community to advance the practice and scholarship of public administration, affairs, and policy.


NASPAA is the global standard in public service education. To receive two NASPAA honors in the same year is a rare and meaningful achievement, further elevating the visibility of Dyson College, Pace University, and Pace’s MPA program among peers across the field. Both awards were presented at the 2026 NASPAA annual conference in Seattle on October 1st.


The Department of Public Administration is also proud to announce that Tiffany Henley, PhD has been selected for the NASPAA Next program, hosted by the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration. This leadership development initiative supports rising early-career public service faculty through specialized mentorship and peer collaboration. This selection reflects her exceptional dedication to academic excellence and public service education.

Faculty News

Gina Scutelnicu-Todoran, PhD

(Public Administration, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) co-published the refereed article "Beyond Reputation: Impacts of Integrating Objective Indicators with Peer Perception in USNWR Public Affairs Program Rankings" in the Journal of Public Affairs Education. 


The study examines how incorporating program‑specific measures such as student acceptance rate, faculty‑to‑student ratio, and 4‑year persistent graduation rate into subjective peer perception surveys would impact ranking outcomes. The results suggest that adding the objective, program‑specific metrics does not alter the overall ranking structure, but greater variability emerges when the weight of peer perception is reduced to 25%, a level consistent with other disciplines. The article provides an empirical foundation for evaluating the potential role of objective indicators in the USNWR ranking system, as public service education continues to reflect program success and highlight distinctive contributions of diverse programs.


Charles Ogundimu, PhD (Mathematics, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) presented his ongoing study "Interpreting Student Understanding Through Standards-Based Statewide Assessments: A Preliminary Analytical Framework for Mathematics Knowledge and Performance" at the 2026 Conference of the Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness (SREE) in Baltimore, Maryland. The theme of this year's conference was “Education and Public Trust: Evidence and Accountability in a Changing Landscape.” 


Grounded in the empirically proven connection between solid algebra knowledge and advanced mathematics, college readiness and persistence, careers in STEM, and even labor market outcomes, this study sets out to understand whether or not standards-based statewide assessment results can provide clues to strengthen classroom instruction. A statewide assessment database was used to conduct a retrospective diagnostic explanatory analysis of a culminating 7-12 mathematics examination – the August 2022 Algebra 1 Regents Examination (henceforth A1R8/22). Connecting each item on the exam to its standard made criterion-referencing feasible, therefore performance can be interpreted in relation to specified learning standards rather than relative student ranking. This has clear implications for reteaching, curriculum review, and assessment interpretation. It also addresses a practical problem of practice many schools face: summative assessment results are often reported as scores, but teachers need standards-level information to inform instruction.



Melvin Williams, PhD (Communication and Media Studies, NYC, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences) was quoted on October 12, 2026, in a USA Today article entitled, "Kelly Clarkson, A Local Business, and the Return of Social Media Beef.” Professor Williams provided expert commentary on the role of celebrities as business reviewers and the implications of publicly shared negative reviews for audiences. 


In addition, Prof. Williams recently published a peer-reviewed, journal article in Studies in Popular Culture entitled, “I Am Not Here as a Celebrity: A Hip-Hop Feminist Analysis of Hip-Hop Women Political Endorsements in the US 2024 Presidential Election.” The article analyzed the political endorsement speeches and campaign rally performances offered by hip-hop women entertainers and rappers on behalf of former US Vice-President Kamala Harris and US President Donald Trump. 

Pace department of Economics  co-hosted a virtual Cybersecurity panel that took place as part of the conference in Krakow, Poland on September 24th. Titled Cybersecurity and the Global Economy, the panel was organized by Anna Shostya, PhD, chair of the economics department and Anatolii Davidenko, PhD from the State University of Information and Communication Technologies in Kyiv, Ukraine. This unique scientific and academic event marked a first step toward collaboration between Pace University and a Ukrainian university. 


Darren Hayes, PhD, Director of the Cybersecurity Program at the Seidenberg School of CSIS, chaired this interdisciplinary panel, which showcased research by Seidenberg faculty (Alex Tsekhansky, PhD, and Prof. Hayes), Dyson faculty (Michel Schidlow, PhD, from the Criminal Justice Department), Pace alum Hope Brizzi ’26 (Economics), as well as colleagues from the State University of Information and Communication Technologies in Kyiv.


The event flyer is available here.


An economics graduate student Grace McGrath, and Kier Hanratty, PhD presented their original research at the Association for Budgeting and Financial Management Annual Research Conference in Washington, D.C.Their presentation, “Who Overrides the Cap? Evidence from New York Towns’ Property Tax Cap, 2012–2015,” reflects the Economics Department’s mission to foster meaningful research and to actively involve students in faculty research projects.


Reflecting on the experience, Grace

(a BS/MS in Economic Analysis and Data Science student graduating this December) said, “Professor Hanratty added me to this project in 2024, and we feel very accomplished to have moved from the hard work of data cleaning and econometric analysis to writing and presenting our research at conferences such as ABFM, with the hope of publication.”

Global Health Center Events

On Monday, October 5, 2026, the Pace Center for Global Health welcomed faculty, students, alumni, and friends for “Beyond Borders: The Human Purpose of Global Health,” a lecture and reception in memory of Mr. Andrew S. Rendeiro, J.D. The lecture was delivered by his Pace classmate and closest friend of more than forty years, José Luis Castro, MPA, WHO Director General's Special Envoy for Chronic Respiratory Diseases and Founding Director of Pace Center for Global Health.


Mr. Rendeiro, a proud member of Pace’s Class of 1987, was a respected criminal defense attorney and the elected President of the Student Government. He later returned to Pace with Mr. Castro to teach international relations. In 2004, the two co-founded the World Lung Foundation, which grew into Vital Strategies, and in 2025 they established the Pace Center for Global Health. Mr. Rendeiro helped launch the Center’s journalist training workshops on chronic respiratory disease in Mexico City, Kuala Lumpur, and Cape Town.


In his lecture, Mr. Castro reflected on what the two discovered as students: that borders are real, but they are not the limits of our responsibility. Drawing on the fight against COPD, asthma, and other chronic respiratory diseases, he spoke of global health’s human purpose and challenged students to cross borders of every kind and build institutions.

A reception followed in Mr. Rendeiro's honor.
