In both my teaching and research, ideas matter
I aim to give my students the tools to understand the American polity. I am less interested in teaching contemporary American politics than I am imparting an understanding of the structures and ideas that motivated past changes, animate current conditions, and will apply to future developments. I believe you cannot understand contemporary American politics without a thorough knowledge of political history and the Constitution.
I am happy to share my TA evaluations upon request.
