Teaching

I teach courses on American politics and public policy. My teaching interests broadly include political behavior, public opinion, political socialization, public policy, and research methods. 

Teaching Approach

I design courses around applied projects that ask students to work within political and policy processes rather than only study them. Students develop practical skills through assignments such as survey design, policy memos, legislative simulations, and public comments, with feedback built into each stage of the process. I also integrate my own research into the classroom so students can see how evidence is produced, evaluated, and communicated in real time.
