I have broad teaching interests, and have focused most recently on incorporating active pedagogy (especially small simulations) in the classroom. In particular, I am excited about teaching courses on: Chinese politics, Chinese foreign policy, comparative authoritarianism, the political economy of development (especially in Asia), political accountability and bureaucracy, and computational methods for social science.

As instructor of record, I have taught a graduate level computing course for the Ph.D. students in political science (at the University of Michigan), as well as a survey course on Chinese politics and a seminar on Chinese Foreign Policy (both at UCSD’s School of Global Policy and Strategy). I also have teaching experience (as graduate student instructor) for comparative politics survey courses (2016, 2018) as well as research design (2022) and in mentoring senior honors thesis students (2020).

• A full compilation of all my student evaluations is available here.

• I also have draft syllabi for quarter-length courses on Chinese politics (taught Fall 2023), Chinese Foreign Policy, Sources and Documentary Analysis for Chinese Politics, and The Use of Social Science Computing Programs (taught Winter 2022).
