Nina Wieda

Nina Wieda leads the Chicago Field Studies program at Northwestern University, guiding undergraduates from across disciplines as they explore career paths in fields such as law, business, and public service, while developing as professionals and responsible citizens.

Since 2016, she has taught Business Field Studies, a course that introduces students interested in investment banking, financial consulting, and private equity to current issues at the intersection of business and society. She also teaches seminars on international politics and social issues at the Newberry Library in Chicago.

Her research focuses on experiential learning and adapting teaching methods to the challenges and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence. In addition to her academic work, she explores human experience through creative writing. Her play Monstrification of Eastern Europe won the British Theatre Challenge and was staged in London, New York, and Boston.
