Statistics and Quantitative Research
Everyone uses statistics, so everyone should know how those stats get made!

I frequently bring in political examples and encourage my students to recognize both intentional and unintentional bias in the statistics they use.

International Relations
Regardless of the country on our passport, we are all members in the global community, so it is critical to learn how to engage and contribute to global society. This means understanding how to pursue peace and solve conflicts through productive organizations, powerful movements, and thoughtful innovation. My course emphasizes uses academic research and recent history to empower students to engage with global policy and become more involved in their world.

Civics and American History
Students need to know where we've been to chart a course for their future. Even students that do not intend to pursue a career in politics can benefit from an understanding of the systemic forces that have built our economy, government, and society. As future voters, students need to know the power that they have and be informed when they choose to use it at the ballot box. Through hands on activities and individual research projects, students are invited to pursue the parts of history that interest them the most.
