Pedagogy

I believe teaching students is about more than communicating course material. My core teaching goals are for students to learn how to think and evaluate arguments critically, express themselves clearly through writing, appraise the quality of evidence and data, and participate in politics outside the classroom. These goals mean I strive to give not just substantive information about politics and methodology, but skills they can take with them throughout life as professionals and as citizens. I help students master difficult concepts and meet high standards while teaching with enthusiasm and ensuring my teaching is inclusive. I do so by utilizing active learning techniques, creating lesson plans tailored to specific sets of students, and integrating university resources, like writing centers, into my teaching.
