Teaching

My approach to teaching emphasizes active and engaging courses, facilitating critical discussions accessible to all students, and empowering students to take an active role in charting their educational journey. My courses frequently feature games, simulations, field trips, and “hackathon”-style events to promote active learning. In addition to more traditional readings, my syllabi also include podcasts, videos, and other resources that provide students with alternative treatments of class concepts. Finally, my assignments frequently feature open-ended portions that allow students to focus on their particular interests, and in advanced courses I work with students to design final projects that reflect their learning goals, whether that is a traditional research paper, a video essay, a business plan, a policy brief, or some other final product.

You can find summaries and syllabi of courses that I have taught on separate pages.
