In the Department of Political Science and International Studies, University of Birmingham, I taught on the following modules in the 2023/24 and 2024/25 academic years – ‘Understanding International Relations’, ‘Pathways to Research’ (first year UG), ‘International Relations Theory’, ‘Research Design’, ‘International Security’, ‘Global Issues’ (second year UG), ‘Global Security’, ‘Strategy, Foreign Policy and Leadership’ (third year UG), and ‘Contemporary Security Challenges’ (a PGT module on terrorism and political violence). I was also the personal tutor and dissertation supervisor for undergraduates and PGTs in the department.

Examples of teaching materials I provide to supplement lectures slides for the ‘Global Issues’ module I contributed to in AY 2024-25, are available here (some of these materials are not yet formatted in a way that will be fully accessible to all – I’m working on this!):

• Political Perspectives on Crime and Security
• Political Perspectives on the Environment
• Political Perspectives on Technology

I have taught the following papers to undergraduates at Oxford:

• International Relations [tutorial reading list for AY 20/21]
• International Security and Conflict
• Civil Wars: Causes, Consequences and Responses (bespoke course for visiting students) [syllabus]

I have taught introductory courses in International Relations for school students (with Oxford Summer Courses) – a modified version of my syllabus is available here.

I am compiling resources for students on academic skills here.

I am currently redesigning my syllabus for an introductory course to International Relations for undergraduates – the draft syllabus is available here – and developing a new course, War and Peace in Global Politics, also for undergraduates – a preliminary draft syllabus is available here.

I am also developing a course on field methods for political scientists, with a focus on research in conflict-affected areas – a draft of the syllabus is available here. Comments and feedback very welcome!
