Course Offering

As the Slayton Endowed Assistant Professor of East Asian Politics at the University of Idaho, I teach a range of undergraduate courses spanning Asian politics, international relations, and political methodology. My primary instructional focus is on Chinese politics and foreign policy through courses such as Introduction to Asian Politics, China’s National Security, and Authoritarian Regimes. I have also taught Introduction to International Politics (in both in-person and online formats), Political Research Methods and Approaches, and Senior Experience, which provide students with both substantive knowledge and the analytical skills needed to study politics.
