Teaching
I have served as the instructor of record for an undergraduate course in international relations and a course on quantitative social science research methods. As a result of my performance as an instructor, I won the 2023-24 Robert S. Friedman Award for Excellence in Teaching. Additionally, I have given guest lectures on topics such as Chinese politics, computational social science, international political economy, and text-as-data methods. I have also worked as a teaching assistant for multiple courses.
I am eager to expand my teaching portfolio. In addition to introductory courses in international relations and quantitative methods, I am equipped to offer courses related to:
Primary substantive expertise: Chinese Foreign Policy, Diplomacy, Social Media and Politics, U.S.-China Relations, International Political Economy, Introduction to Comparative Politics
Methodological expertise: Quantitative Political Analysis, Text-as-Data Methods, Survey Design and Analysis, Digital Humanities
