teaching
My teaching experience spans designing and leading my own seminar as well as supporting large lecture courses as a teaching assistant. These roles have equipped me with skills in course design, discussion facilitation, grading, and mentorship across a wide range of student audiences.
Across the courses I teach, my goal is to create an intellectually rigorous and inclusive learning environment where students actively engage with political concepts, apply them to contemporary problems, and develop skills that extend far beyond the classroom. I view teaching not as the transmission of facts but as the cultivation of curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. My courses combine rigorous theory with active learning to help students become analytical thinkers and engaged citizens who can evaluate evidence, compare perspectives, and make informed judgments in an increasingly complex world.

Politics of Information view syllabus
course description
Information has become a cornerstone of politics, frequently referred to as the “new oil”, a strategic resource leveraged by states, companies, and citizens to achieve their goals. While this has been true for centuries, the widespread prevalence of global information networks and digital technologies, including social media and artificial intelligence, has amplified its importance. How does information shape political behavior, governance, and global power? How do digital technologies change opportunities and risks in the political arena?
This course explores these questions by examining the intersection of information, technology, and politics. We analyze how information is created, disseminated, and controlled in various political contexts and investigate the challenges posed by disinformation, polarization, digital surveillance, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on academic articles, journalistic pieces, and global examples, we examine how these phenomena impact public opinion, democracy, and global governance. Additionally, we explore whether and how these challenges can be addressed.
