Amy Doughten

Global Teacher

Amy Doughten holds a master’s degree in Political Science from Washington State University, with areas of emphasis in International Relations and Political Psychology, and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Psychology from Queens University of Charlotte. She has taught courses in international relations, world politics, political psychology, global conflict, and U.S. foreign relations at both Queens University and Washington State University.

Before returning her focus to education, Amy built a career in business and technology leadership, where she led complex projects, worked with organizations across industries, and developed and mentored professional teams. That experience allows her to bring real-world examples and perspectives into the classroom. She enjoys helping students think critically, ask good questions, and understand how history, politics, psychology, and current events intersect.

Amy lives in North Carolina. She has an adult son who works as a massage therapist, shares her home with three cats, and is active in animal rescue as the founder of a local cat rescue organization.
