Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of South Carolina
Teaching
I've designed and taught multiple courses at different types of institutions, including the University of South Carolina, Carleton College (ranked 1st in undergraduate teaching according to U.S. News), the University of Minnesota, and la Universidad del Desarrollo in Santiago, Chile. My teaching philosophy focuses on getting students to evaluate and understand information critically, with particular focus on examining how students' own personal and psychological biases can impact information reception.
