Teaching Interests
My top priority as a professor is to help students develop a passion for lifelong learning by creating a congenial and respectful classroom environment and adopting an approach that guides students to actively explore the issues being addressed themselves and apply them in their lives and future careers. I am interested in teaching courses in program evaluation, research methods and statistics, public policy, community and urban development, and introduction to American government.
