Utilizing both classic methods of lecture and innovative technologies, I endeavor to create an environment that challenges students while engaging their interests in the international arena. Particular emphasis is placed on critical thinking and a student's ability to integrate current and historical phenomena with theoretical concepts.
Current Course(s)
POL 361: International Organizations
This course is an intermediate course in international relations which will focus on questions of global governance in the international system. The main focus of the course will be on how international institutions are used at various levels of governance in the international system, with varying degrees of success, to resolve international concerns. We will examine the problems of cooperation in the international system and how institutions are designed and constructed to overcome these problems. Particular emphasis will be placed on students' ability to think critically, both about the nature of problems that face states as well as development of global governance mechanisms.
