Teaching

I am committed to equitable and inclusive policy and practice in my scholarship and teaching.

I am committed to providing pathways to justice and liberty in and through research and education.

I aim to foster a community of scholars and of learners that is conscious of the value of diverse opinions and voices.

I am committed to doing better when I fail.

My objective as an educator is to be a strong scholar citizen – a scholar who is generous with her time and mentorship, open to disagreement and debate, and ready to share what she has learned. I provide students with strong theoretical foundations, encourage rich and robust analysis, and guide learning through real-world practice and application. My teaching interests include international relations, humanitarianism, international organization, the governance of conflict and crisis, the politics of migration and health, research methods, and the politics of the Middle East.
