I teach courses at the intersection of international law, global governance, and public health. At the undergraduate level, I teach International Law, Introduction to International Relations, and, beginning in Spring 2027, International Organizations (as part of our Applied History certificate. I also teach a First-Year Odyssey seminar, Outbreak Stories, which uses pandemic novels to explore how societies respond to disease. At the graduate level, I teach Public Policy Analysis II and the Politics of Disease Control in the College of Public Health.

My teaching emphasizes applied, scaffolded work. In International Law, students draft and negotiate their own treaty, using AI as a legal-drafting partner rather than a shortcut. That assignment received a UGA-wide award for innovative use of AI in the classroom. In my graduate policy courses, students build a semester-long policy analysis from problem definition through cost-benefit and regulatory analysis. I am currently a Lilly Teaching Fellow at UGA.

For UGA undergraduates: I am happy to mentor CURO projects in line with my research interests. If I am writing you a letter of recommendation for the first time, I require a resume and one month of notice.
