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 non-democracy, 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 courses on Chinese politics, Chinese Foreign Policy, and mixed methodology for study of Chinese Politics (all 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 syllabi or draft syllabi for quarter-length courses on Chinese politics (taught Fall 2023), Chinese Foreign Policy (taught Spring 2024), Sources and Documentary Analysis for Chinese Politics (draft for Fall 2024), and The Use of Social Science Computing Programs (taught Winter 2022).
