In addition to my active research agenda, I am passionate about teaching, and have experience teaching substantive and methods courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. At Princeton, I am part of a team teaching "The Politics of Public Policy," an introductory course of the MPA program at the Woodrow Wilson School.
As a graduate student at UCLA, I taught fourteen courses—four as sole instructor and ten as a teaching assistant—on international relations, development, and methodology. For example, in the spring quarter of 2017, I developed and taught the seminar class “International Politics of Human Rights,” which drew heavily on my dissertation work (syllabus). This document summarizes all the student evaluations I received at UCLA.
Over the years, I have developed a classroom pedagogy that fosters student agency in the learning process, is inclusive, and promotes critical thinking. Because of the nature of my work, I teach with an interdisciplinary approach and encourage students to engage with multiple perspectives on controversial issues.
In the future, I look forward to teaching courses on international relations, comparative politics, public policy, and research methods, as well as offering more specialized courses on human rights, international organizations, distributive politics, development, and transnational activism, among others.
