I have experience teaching courses in political science, political economy, public policy, public administration, and democratic theory at Harvard University, the London School of Economics, Brown University, and the Technical University of Munich.

My teaching has been recognized with teaching awards at Harvard and the LSE. I have also received consistently high evaluations from students, including the highest possible evaluations (5.0/5.0 from all students) in seminars I led at Harvard and Brown and an average of 4.6/5.0 for the three courses I co-taught at the London School of Economics.
