Teaching  

Undergraduate students are not only learning concepts and tools to succeed in their professional fields. Their college experiences also prepare them to become citizens of a society undergoing constant change. My main goals as a college professor in social sciences are to foster an inclusive environment that prepares students to interact in a complex world, and to empower them as critical thinkers, developing their own ideas and opinions in a proactive way. In my own experience as doctoral student, advisor, and instructor in an US public university, I have identified these skills as fundamental for students, their professional development, and their ability to navigate the challenges we face as a society.

Below you will find a brief description of the courses I have taught, as well as the list of teaching certificates I have pursued during my graduate training.

Courses

Globalization (in-person) 

In Fall 2019, I am working as a Teaching Assistant for University of Maryland’s Global Communities Living and Learning Program. In this context, I assist Dr. Virginia Haufler by contributing to syllabus design and leading discussion sections for the course Globalization, geared towards freshmen students in their first semester at University of Maryland, and as part of Global Communities. The course focuses on the core concepts and debates around globalization. It presents “an interdisciplinary exploration of the historical evolution and contemporary significance of growing interconnectedness in the world. We debate different perspectives on globalization and its impact on social, political, economic and cultural issues”.

MIDCM Practicum Course (online) 

Since Fall 2014, I have taught the MIDCM Practicum Course every Fall and Spring semester. This course focuses on helping students develop a cohesive professional narrative, based on their professional and academic experiences. Through a number of different assignments that focus on their profile development, market research, and networking, I seek to prepare students for their next career step after graduation, whether that is continuing their education or pursuing full-time jobs in different fields. 

State and Markets in a Globalized World (online)

Offered in Summer 2018, this course is an introduction to the main subjects in International Political Economy. Throughout the course, I use undergraduate textbooks and academic papers to provide a survey on topics including trade, foreign investment, globalization and development, and gender in political economy. Students are required to actively engage in debates about these issues through short essays, as well as critical analyses of current events through the lens of the theoretical framework discussed in class. 

Guest Lecturer: Issues in Latin American Studies II (Spring 2019)

I contributed as a one-time guest on this course to discuss recent developments around women’s movements in Argentina, and Latin America more broadly. During the discussion, I shared with students some of the insights and takeaways from my own research using big data and survey experiments.  

Guest Lecturer: Advanced Topics in Environmental Policy Analysis (Fall 2017)

Using existing examples of survey data on environmental policy preferences, I offered this one-time lecture on survey methodology, covering topics that included questionnaire design, data analysis, and policy implications for environmental politics in the United States.
