TEACHING:
I have taught a wide variety of courses over time--from American politics to research methods to public policy. I view myself as a generalist, who tries to synthesize knowledge from different areas within the discipline of political science--and across disciplines as well. In this manner, I hope to enrich both my teaching and my research. Courses that I especially enjoy teaching include Introduction to American Politics, political institutions (legislative and judicial processes), political behavior, state politics, public policy (especially educational policy), among others.
