At Duke Duets: Partnerships That Move the World Forward, Duke faculty, students, and alumni shared how Duke’s interdisciplinary approach to research, education, and knowledge in the service of society is moving the world forward.
Duke Duet Edward J. Balleisen and Tara Bansal ’17 spoke at Duke Forward in New York City about educational service-learning through Bass Connections, including Tara’s project on the differences among slums in Bangalore, India.
Edward J. Balleisen is vice provost for interdisciplinary studies at Duke University and an associate professor of history and public policy. A graduate of Princeton University and Yale University, Balleisen has taught American business, legal, and policy history at Duke since 1997. He has received university-wide recognition for excellence in undergraduate teaching—Howard D. Johnson Award in 2005 and Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award in 2015—and in graduate mentoring—Graduate Dean’s Award in 2015.
Balleisen has written widely on the historical intersections among law, business, and policy in the United States, as well as the evolution of American regulatory institutions and contemporary debates on regulatory governance. His next book, Fraud: An American History from Barnum to Madoff, will be published by Princeton University Press in early 2017.
As vice provost, Balleisen is responsible for facilitating cross-school collaborations around research, teaching, and outreach through Duke’s signature interdisciplinary institutes and initiatives. His office oversees Bass Connections—a university-wide initiative that bridges the classroom and the real world, giving students a chance to roll up their sleeves and tackle complex problems alongside faculty from across Duke.
Tara Bansal is a New York native and Angier B. Duke Scholar in the class of 2017. She is deeply engaged in human development and education research.
A public policy, global health, and economics student, Bansal’s Bass Connections work has centered around understanding social density across slums in Bangalore, India. She spent her previous summers collecting survey data in India, working for the Boston Consulting Group, researching distribution strategies for pediatric immunizations in Indonesia with the World Health Organization, and studying abroad at Oxford University.
On campus, Bansal serves as president of Duke Student Government and trains as a classical dancer. She previously served as vice president of Duke's internationally competitive Debate Society and coxswained for the Duke men's rowing team.
Duke Forward, a seven-year, comprehensive fundraising campaign, aims to raise more than $3.25 billion by June 30, 2017. It supports priorities across Duke's 10 schools, Duke Health, and a range of university programs, and initiatives.
