Class description
Description: Description: This is an advanced course in international relations that explores topics such globalization, terrorism, ethnic conflict, NGOs, and environmental politics. I follow a non-traditional teaching style that includes (along with the traditional lectures) class discussions, group projects, and audio-visual delivery of knowledge via documentaries. By the end of the course, I hope all of you will develop a more nuanced understanding of world politics and feel empowered to contribute to policy debates.
