Esteban Calvo
Director, Bing Overseas Studies
BioEsteban Calvo, PhD, MsPH is a global scholar and academic leader in longevity, health, and public policy whose work connects education and research to real-world impact. Trained as a sociologist and epidemiologist, he studies how social contexts across the life course shape health, wellbeing, and inequality, and how institutions can respond to demographic change through evidence-based policy and practice.
Over more than two decades, Dr. Calvo has designed and led interdisciplinary academic and research initiatives in Chile and the United States. He has served as Dean of a large and diverse faculty, founded interdisciplinary research centers integrating social and health sciences with gerontology, and built international partnerships linking universities, governments, and civil society. He has also held faculty appointments across schools of the social sciences, public health, and business, and advised public and private institutions across three continents on issues related to aging, health, social security, and strategy. Across these roles, his focus has been on strengthening institutions, improving decision-making, and creating learning environments that translate scholarship into institutional and public impact.
His research draws on large-scale longitudinal data from up to three million individuals across more than 160 countries and has informed public policy, institutional strategy, and legal decision-making. His work has been recognized by the American Public Health Association, the American Sociological Association, the Gerontological Society of America, and the Retirement Research Foundation.
As Director of the Bing Overseas Studies Program in Santiago, Dr. Calvo is committed to offering students a rigorous and immersive academic experience grounded in Chile’s social, cultural, and policy landscape. His leadership emphasizes experiential learning, cross-cultural understanding, and the translation of classroom knowledge into action, preparing students to engage complex social challenges with curiosity, responsibility, and a global perspective. -
Kurt Denver Campbell
Overseas Studies - Cape Town, Bing Overseas Studies
BioProf. Kurt Campbell is the Director at the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town. He is a past Harvard University fellow and visiting scholar at the University of Minnesota, Indiana University and the American University in Cairo. He has developed productive interdisciplinary dialogues as an artist, curator and academic writer. South Africa’s recent political past and the accompanying legacies often feature in his research. Crucially, this focus is not to re-inscribe the ideas of ‘race’ or ‘apartheid’, but rather to assist with a final critique of these boundaries and thus contribute to a potentially richer self-concept for individuals as they move in the intellectual world. His recent research is dedicated to South African rock art epistemology after apartheid.

Nissa Ren Cannon
Lecturer, Program in Writing and Rhetoric
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on transatlantic modernism, citizenship, and print culture. My book project, which was chosen for the 2019 Penn State First Book Institute, argues that the bureaucratic and literary documents of interwar itinerancy–including passports, travel ephemera, and newspapers–shape expatriation as a distinct mode of national belonging.
