Professor Broome received his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in 1980, after which he taught at the American College in Athens, Greece. From 1981-1999 he held a faculty position at George Mason University (GMU) in Fairfax, Virginia. In his early years at GMU, he played a key role in the newly formed Department of Communication, developing courses in intercultural, interpersonal, and small group communication. He also served on the Faculty Advisory Board and taught courses for the Center for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR). In later years, he worked closely with the Center for Interactive Management (see IASIS), collaborating on projects with the National Marine Fisheries Services, U.S. Department of Defense, Ford Motor Company, and many educational and nonprofit organizations. In 1999, Professor Broome accepted a position in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, where he teaches courses in intercultural communication, group facilitation, and conflict management.
Professor Broome held a Senior Fulbright Fellowship in Cyprus from 1994-1996, working through the Cyprus Fulbright Commission to offer seminars, workshops, and training in group facilitation and conflict resolution to bi-communal groups of Greek and Turkish Cypriots. While in Cyprus, he worked closely with the United Nations, the European Commission, the American Embassy, and other diplomatic entities. Since leaving Cyprus in 1997, he has worked closely on several projects with the United Nations Office of Project Services and the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP). Other international work includes collaboration with the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Mexico (ITESM) and the European Center for Complex Issue Resolution (ECCIR) in Brussels. Since 1987, he has also worked with several Native American tribes in the United States and with Americans for Indian Opportunity’s (AIO) Ambassador Leadership Program for Native American youth. In July each year, Professor Broome teaches at the Summer Institute of Intercultural Communication in Oregon, USA.
