Dr. Winship teaches courses in international relations and American foreign

in Nanjing, People's Republic of China. Dr. Winship also serves as
Co-Director of Augustana's East Asian term and in that capacity makes frequent

on the international involvements of the United States, Dr. Winship is also a close
student of the American political process and teaches courses on campaigns and
elections.
Dr. Winship received his Ph.D. in political science and international studies
from The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. His undergraduate degree is also
from Johns Hopkins, and his Master's degree in international studies is from
The Johns Hopkins University's Nitze School of Advanced International Studies

Winship is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and holds the Master of
Divinity (M.Div.) degree from Harvard Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Given this dual training, he has
a particular interest in the interplay of politics and religion in American
life and in international relations.
Dr. Winship has recently been a Mid-West Faculty Fellow with the Globalization
Project of the Center for International Studies and the Chicago Humanities
Institute at the University of Chicago. He is also a fellow of the Carnegie
Council on Ethics and International Affairs. Dr. Winship spent the summer of
1997 in Hong Kong researching the emergent politics of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as
that territory was returned to Chinese sovereignty after more than 150 years of
British rule. He has had several extended trips to the East Asia - in 1998, where he continued his
research into U.S. foreign policy in the region,
another in 2000, and an extended trip in fall 2001 that took him to both Japan and China.
