At the University of Melbourne, I teach our first year undergradiate International Politics subject with over 780 students and a new second year Global Migration Politics course. I also teach on Masters of International Relations subjects including International Political Economy with Andrew Walters, 'Terrorism and Insurgency', 'Diplomacy: Theory and Practice', and 'Comparative Regional Governance'.
At the LSE, I was a Postdoc and Teaching Fellow and taught on courses including ‘Development and Democracy’, ‘Civil War and Political Violence’, ‘Diaspora Politics and Globalisation’, and ‘Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Illiberal States’. I created, along with my colleague David Keen, a unique short course on the ethics and challenges of researching conflict-affected states, conducting elite interviews and field research, for the LSE’s School of Government MSc in Conflict Studies.
At the University of Oxford, I was a College Tutor on the Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) course, covering Politics in Sub-Saharan Africa at Regent’s Park College and the Middlebury College-CMRS Oxford Humanities Program. I was nominated at both Colleges for Best Tutor of the Year both years I taught, receiving the award from Middlebury College-CMRS in 2018.
I have also delivered specialised lectures for defence institutions and diplomats, including for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in the United Kingdom and for the National Defense College in Oman on the Horn of Africa, Red Sea politics and regional security.
