Anders Bjornberg currently teaches in New York City. Prior to starting his career in education, Anders worked as an undergraduate Research Assistant in the Bangladesh National Archives and as a fieldworker in rural Bangladesh for the "Improving Microcredit Programs: Listening to Recipients" project under the Goldin Institute. He and a partner designed the project to test the functionality of microcredit programs, which are supposed to provide entrepreneurship to the poor through small loans. Bjornberg discovered that these programs were becoming exploitative, to the extent that the recipients were losing their assets when they could not pay back the loans.
