I enjoy teaching a variety of classes at Temple University, from large lecture-based surveys to small reading-intensive seminars, across the undergraduate and graduate levels. I have also taught courses and occasional seminars on a visiting basis at Sciences Po (Paris), the University of Pennsylvania, and other institutions.
In 2016, I was honored to receive the university’s CLA Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award. During 2018-21, I served as the Department of Political Science‘s undergraduate chair. During 2026-29, I am serving as Honors Affiliated faculty at the Sullivan Honors College.
