Teaching Interests

I’m a scholar of politics by training. My approach to teaching politics is through close historical study. I’m well qualified and prepared to teach historically informed courses that meaningfully interlace topics in politics, government, and economics. My teaching interests include courses in political theory and philosophical thought, American politics, and comparative politics, South Asian affairs, political-economic theory and practice, globalization and development, and international relations.
