Teaching

As an instructor, my goal is to create an equitable and generative social science learning environment. I use inclusive teaching strategies motivated by the principles of Universal Design to make my instruction both accessible and engaging. In 2021, I received the Outstanding Teaching Assistant award at Syracuse University. I also hold the Syracuse University Certificate in University Teaching and serve as a Teaching Mentor to new graduate teaching assistants at Syracuse University.

In addition to introductory courses in comparative politics, public policy, and international relations, I am interested in teaching courses on immigration policy, qualitative research methods, refugee politics, and politics of the Middle East and North Africa. My teaching philosophy statement, syllabi, and evidence of teaching effectiveness are available on request.
