Teaching

During my time at UIUC, I have developed a number of different course offerings, at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All of my courses – seminars, as well as lectures – are designed to be interactive and encourage lively discussion of the material.

Undergraduate Courses

• PS 152 – The New Middle East

• PS 199 – Ethnicity, Religion, and the Nation-State (Freshman Seminar)

• PS 240 – W.E.I.R.D. Politics (Introduction to Comparative Politics)

• PS 241 – Comparative Politics of Developing Nations

• PS 347 – Government and Politics of the Middle East

• PS 494 – Junior Honors Seminar (Government and Politics of the Middle East)

Graduate Courses

• PS 594 – Conceptualization and Measurement

I have also developed an award-winning research internship program for undergraduates, designed to introduce students to the process of doing research in political science. My hope is to expand the program in the coming years, to serve an even larger and more diverse pool of students.
