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 reviews from Toronto can be found 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.
