Teaching
As an instructor of politics, I design courses and create classroom environments focused on making political science accessible and relevant to all students.
To help all students succeed, regardless of their backgrounds, I sequence assignments to build research skills progressively throughout the semester. My courses also employ active learning strategies such as debates, peer review, and crisis simulations to create multiple pathways to participation. Additionally, I emphasize current events to demonstrate the relevance of international relations and help students become critical and informed citizens.
My teaching was recognized with Cornell's Deanne Gebell Gitner '66 Family Annual Prize for Teaching Assistants, a campus-wide award given each year for devotion to undergraduate education.
