I teach introductory and seminar courses in the history of political thought. At the University of Toronto I was both longlisted (in 2018) and shortlisted (in 2014) for the TATP Teaching Award and in 2019 I won the Political Science Department’s Outstanding TA Award. My collected teaching reviews from the University of Toronto are here. At the University of Texas at Austin I won the Government Department’s Outstanding Graduate Faculty Award in 2022, and its Teaching Excellence and Innovation Award in 2024. In 2023 and 2025 the Government Department nominated me for the Josefina Paredes Teaching Award; in 2025 it also nominated me for the Graduate Mentorship Award.
