Teaching Experience:
My research and teaching interest focus on a diverse number of issues related to contemporary American Politics. Both my research and classes aim to examine contemporary American Politics from a scholarly perspective and to address the validity of various hypotheses and ideological perspectives. My most recent research has examined the levels and sources of partisan polarization in the U.S. Congress and the N.C. General Assembly.
Why I like to teach honors courses:
I enjoy teaching honors students because of their ability to think critically and to challenge both my views and the views of their fellow classmates. I also enjoy the opportunity honors courses provide to examine issues at a level deeper than traditional courses.
