Teaching

To date, almost all of my teaching and interaction with students has followed directly from my research.  At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, I have taught courses on diverse aspects of political conflict and violence (e.g., human rights, genocide, civil war and political dissent): its definition, causes, dynamics, termination, and, recently, its termination as well as coverage throughout diverse aspects of popular culture and collective memory.  I have also done classes on racism and transitional justice.  Within these classes, I have endeavored to provide students with a state-of-the-art understanding of what we know as well as what problems remain.  Directly related to this, I have facilitated diverse environments in which students can further advance their understanding of relevant phenomena. 

Below, you will find some of the courses that I have developed over the years.  The highlighted ones are hyperlinked.
