Biography

Ian McIntosh is director of international partnerships and an adjunct professor of anthropology in the IU School of Liberal Arts.

Ian serves as IU Indianapolis’ liaison to universities and organizations around the world that have formal affiliations with the Indianapolis campus. His international interests began 30 years ago with a purely national interest: He wanted to learn more about his country’s (Australia’s) Aboriginal peoples. In 1981, he took a position as a liaison and welfare office in Mount Isa, a rich mining community in Northeast Australia.

He regularly teaches courses at IU Indianapolis on truth and reconciliation. In spring 2012, he offered a class focusing on the Gaza Strip. The class enrolled students at IU Indianapolis and at a private university in Gaza.
