Teaching

I use textual, archival, and audiovisual sources in my teaching to encourage students to engage critically and creatively in rigorous analysis of political concepts, ideologies, and processes. My classes bring together a variety of issues, topics, and perspectives that include political theory, political economy, racial politics, democracy, imperialism, and feminism.
