During my time at UIUC, I have developed a number of course offerings, at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All my courses – seminars, as well as lectures – are designed to be interactive and encourage lively discussion of the material.
PS 152 – The New Middle East
PS 199 – Ethnicity, Religion, and the Nation-State (Freshman Seminar)
PS 229 – Doing Politics Research (coming soon!)
PS 240 – W.E.I.R.D. Politics (Introduction to Comparative Politics)
PS 494 – Junior Honors Seminar (Government and Politics of the Middle East)
PS 495 – Senior Honors Seminar
PS 594 – Conceptualization and Measurement
Research Internships
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.
You can read more about the program here. If you're a student interested in applying for the program or are interested in other ways to get involved with faculty research at UIUC, check out this page, which includes an application form.
Doing Diversity Science (DDS) Summer Research Program
Since 2023, I have directed the Doing Diversity Science (DDS) summer undergraduate research program, administered by the Center for Social & Behavioral Science (CSBS) through the Alliance for Research Enterprise Excellence in STEM (AREES) in the Chancellor's Office of Public Engagement.
You can read more about the 2024 DDS program here. A syllabus from that year's seminar can be accessed here.
Office Hours
Students looking to sign up for my office hours can to do so here. If none of the available times work, students should email me with a list of days/times when they would be free to meet and I will do my best to accommodate.
