Nicholas Connon co-instructed graduate students and upper class undergraduates of the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University about the United Arab Emirates, its history and culture, its governmental and institutional structures and its public policy and legal systems. It is the intent that the UAE Program will be an annual program at Indiana University to provide students with an understanding of the Gulf Arab region, and the Middle East more generally, and the public policies and institutional and legal systems in the region.
