Teaching

Summary

I have taught a broad range of undergraduate and graduate courses over the years. I currently teach courses on Latin American Politics, Authoritarian Legacies, Organized Crime, Research Methods, and Data Visualization.

Before coming to William & Mary, I taught Social Science Inquiry I–III at the University of Chicago. The SSI sequence equips undergraduate students to begin conducting high-quality quantitative social science research.

I have also taught core introductory courses such as Introduction to Comparative Politics and Introduction to International Relations. In all of my courses, I seek to help students become more engaged, thoughtful, and intellectually independent thinkers.

I am delighted to have received highly positive feedback on my teaching from students and peers over the years. It is always gratifying to learn that my respect for and dedication to students shines through in my courses, even as I strive to grow as an educator and mentor.
