Teaching
My teaching interests include ethnic conflict and intergroup relations, peace and reconciliation, international relations, public policy, and security studies, as well as quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research design. I bring to the classroom fieldwork experience in divided societies and years of helping students build confidence with quantitative methods.
