Teaching

I have served as a teaching assistant for courses that focus both on research methods and substantive political science issues, including an advanced undergraduate course that explored cultural explanations for social and economic behavior, a graduate introductory course on econometric analysis, and a core undergraduate course on the development and implications of American social policy. As a teaching assistant, I taught weekly self-designed review and discussion sections, co-designed problem sets and exams, provided tutoring on quantitative methods and writing skills for individual students, and evaluated student work. In addition, this year I am serving as a senior thesis advisor. As a professor, I hope to apply my substantive interests and quantitative skills to teaching courses on introductory American politics and research methods, as well as upper-level courses on immigrant political incorporation, civic engagement, and American social policy development. Teaching experience includes:

Social Analysis 54 - American Society and Public Policy, Spring 2009.
Empirical Methods II, Spring 2008.
Economics 1018 Cultural Economics, Fall 2006.

The following two draft syllabi offer examples of my approach to undergraduate teaching.
