Teaching

Next to my research, I also strive for excellence in teaching.  At the University of Georgia, I teach Introduction to Comparative Politics, African Politics, Election Violence, and the Comparative Politics Field Seminar for graduate students.  I am also an instructor with Democratic Erosion, a cross-university collaborative course, and have taught the course at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

While at Skidmore College, I taught Introduction to Comparative Politics and International Relations, Africa’s Rise in a Changing World, States, Markets and Politics in Developing Countries, International Interventions and Post-Conflict Politics, and Democratic Erosion.

To strengthen my teaching, I completed two year-long seminars on pedagogy and course development with Brown University’s Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning.
