Teaching

I teach both graduate students and undergraduates. During the 2007-2008 academic year, I will be teaching four courses. In the winter quarter of 2008, I will teach a lecture course for both undergraduates and graduate students on "War and the Nation State." I will also teach a graduate seminar on "Great Power Politics." In the spring quarter of 2008, I will teach a graduate seminar on "Nationalism in the Age of Globalization," and an undergraduate seminar on "Realism." Finally, I will participate in the Program on International Security Policy (PISP) Workshop for the entire academic year. It meets every Tuesday in Pick 506 and is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.

Over the past decade, some of the key courses I have taught include:

Lecture course on American Grand Strategy. [pdf]
Seminar on Comparative Case Study Method. [pdf]
Seminar on Great Power Politics. [pdf]
Seminar on Nationalism in the Age of Globalization. [pdf]
Seminar on Realism. [pdf]
Lecture course on Realism. [pdf]
Lecture course on War and the Nation-State. [pdf]

The syllabi for the last time I taught each of these courses are accessible by clicking on the pdf links.
