I teach courses on a wide range of topics in political science, international studies, and business at both the undergraduate and graduate levels (see below for recent courses). Pedagogically, I am a strong proponent of experiential learning and most of my classes incorporate off-campus activities where students engage with and learn from the perspectives of policymakers, practitioners, and community organizations. Together with my students, I have worked to advance public facing engaged scholarship, through initiatives such as the Migration Stories Project, a collection of oral histories documenting the experiences of immigrants living in the United States.
I have extensive experience in the field of international and experiential education, having organized and led numerous international academic trips for undergraduate, graduate, and MBA students in my capacity as Director of the Huntsman Global Immersion Program and former Director of the Europe Regional Program at the Lauder Institute for Management & International Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
