Teaching
I teach multiple courses in comparative politics, international relations, and US politics, from introductory to upper-level courses in all three areas. Several of my courses have also been cross-listed courses with geography and gender studies departments, which have helped bring students from those majors more awareness of political science. I have been fortunate enough to teach at four different universities: Loyola University Chicago, Arrupe College (a community college affiliated with Loyola University Chicago), Lake Forest College, and Dominican University and have experience teaching classes both in-person and fully online.
In the 2022-2023 academic year I was a finalist for the Magis Part-Time Award for Teacher-Practitioners from Loyola University Chicago.
A full list of the courses I have taught with some sample syllabi are below. Please contact me for more information.
