Teaching

I think about college courses as lenses. They provide sharper ways of seeing a subject in all its dimensions. To my way of thinking, the best courses provide analytic tools that can be used again. What I hope students will take with them from the courses I teach is both new knowledge and expanded capacities for understanding the world. 

Courses that I have designed and taught for the Program in International and Comparative Studies (PICS), some of which are cross-listed with Anthropology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor include the following:

• Humanitarian Dilemmas
• Climate Change and Migration
• Gender, War, and Peace
• Refugee Voices
• People, Land, and Time
• Human Trafficking and Smuggling in International Perspective
• Time, Space, and Power
• Introduction to International Studies
