I teach students to ask better questions, evaluate evidence, and construct arguments that hold up under scrutiny — the same commitments that drive my own research. Every assignment is designed to build something a student can use: for undergraduates, that means analytical habits applied to real political questions; for graduate students, it means producing work with a life beyond the course.
