My teaching experience crosses the fields
of international relations; comparative politics; immigration and immigrant
integration; ethnicity, religion and culture; and gender and identity politics.
As a Ph.D student at UC, Irvine I have been a teaching assistant for courses
such as Introduction to International Relations, Micro Politics, Social Science
Research Methods, Islam and the West, and Psychology of Conflict in
the Middle East. In many of these courses I have received high teaching evaluation scores and outstanding
teaching awards (please see my CV for a list). I have the experience to
interact with students in a small classroom environment as well as in large
lecture hall settings. My teaching style combines traditional teaching methods
such as lecturing, with more interactive ways of teaching, where students
participate in the learning process by applying concepts and theories to real
life events and engage in discussions and debates with the instructor and
fellow students.
In the future I would be interested to
teach courses on Comparative Politics (general/theoretical and on Western
Europe and/or the Middle East); International Relations (general/theoretical
and on international institutions, international security, immigration and
globalization); Immigration and Immigrant integration (with an emphasis on the
comparative analysis of immigrants and immigration policies in the US and
Western Europe); Gender, Culture and Religion; Islam and the West; and
Political Psychology (including identity politics and political behavior).
