Teaching Vision
My goal is to create a class environment in whcih students can build both normative and empirical foundations for understanding and engaging with critical issues, such as power, justice, identity, equality, and freedom. I am committed to developing students' ability to argue coherently, persuasively, and critically, while also introducing them to cutting-edge research in the field. My teaching integrates both qualitative and quantitative methods, ensuring students gain a comprehensive understanding of political inquiry.
