Teaching Philosophy
01
Everybody has the ability to learn, albeit, in different ways. Some faster or slower, some in more conventional or unconventional ways. A successful teaching and learning cycle requires being aware of these differences, identifying them, and addressing them.
02
It makes no sense spending an outrageous amount of time assessing what you know the students will forget immediately or shortly after the assessment. The key is to assess, build, and develop the relevant skills and competencies that would last and be relevant beyond the lifetime of a teaching circle, while making the students aware of current trends in the field.

In the classroom and at the podium, I bring the same rigour and passion that drives my research. My teaching is grounded in critical inquiry, cross-disciplinary and objective thinking, and a commitment to making complex ideas in governance, corruption, and international relations accessible and relevant.
