Teaching

My teaching equips students to understand and analyze how ideologies, state and non-state institutions, organizations, and actors from elites to ordinary people interact and contest power in a variety of geographic and cultural contexts. To teach effectively, I follow the principles of critical thinking, historical contextualization, interactive student-centered learning, and epistemological pluralism.
