Teaching

Check out my work in Roosevelt’s classrooms in our 2016 video!

In the classroom, my goal is to create student-centered learning environments that combine critical thinking skills with problem-solving and collaborative tools that will make our graduates competitive on the global job market. My responsibility to our students does not end when class is dismissed – quite the opposite. My door is always open for extra help and discussions, independent studies, honors theses, career  counseling, and of course, casual conversations about politics, baseball, zombies and the future of civilization.

Courses currently taught regularly include POS 101: Introduction to American Politics, POS 102: Introduction to Comparative Politics, POS 241: Presidential Primaries, POS 292: North Korea and Nuclear Security, POS 302, U.S. Foreign Policy, POS 339: Political Violence and Terrorism, POS 358: International Relations of the Middle East, POS 379: Partisanship and Polarization, POS 390: Electing a President and POS 390: Midterm Elections.
