Psci 298-00AA / (Honors Program Course) Special Topics - Radical PoliticsI am passionate about teaching all aspects of American and comparative politics. I particularly enjoy helping students to pursue their own passions by engaging in the collection and analysis of political data. In the past, my classes have conducted election day exit polling from which the resulting data was used to construct individualized research project. At The College of Wooster, I advised Senior Independent Study theses which entailed students undertaking yearlong original research projects on topics of their choosing. In the classroom, I strive to introduce students to a diverse array of literature with varying perspectives on topics important to today’s political environment such as political polarization. My goal is to provide students with the tools and understanding necessary to critically assess and even challenge theories and arguments related to political phenomena.
