FACULTY PROFILE: Middle East conflict specialist Croatti makes UO his single-season home

Mark Croatti has gotten a pretty good feel for springtime in Eugene – but not so much, the other three seasons.

This year's spring term was the second in a row that Croatti served as a guest lecturer in the UO School of Law’s Conflict and Dispute Resolution program. His two courses in 2012 – also focused on foreign policy and conflict resolution – quickly filled to capacity.
