Courses
My teaching interests include courses on public and nonprofit management, introduction to the policy process, and organizational theory.
My approach as an educator is leaner centered with a focus of bringing active learning in the classroom and providing an environment that fosters diversity of thought.
Social Justice & Equity - Indiana University
Graduate course currently in development.
Public Service Organizations - Rutgers
The undergraduate course considers basic theories on organizational behavior and performance. The course focuses on characteristics of public and nonprofit organizational and how they differ from that of private/profit organizations. It looks at the limits to organizational growth and the internal and external processes that effect organizational effectiveness and efficiency.
The Public Policy Process - Rutgers
This graduate course introduces students to the public policy process and its key institutions and actors (such as legislative bodies, chief executives, administrative agencies, courts, interest groups, advocacy coalitions, and the media). The course emphasizes key parameters of public policy formulation (agenda setting, policy formulation and design, implementation, evaluation) and theories of policy change. Students will be able to differentiate policy types and tools, effectively use evidence in shaping public policy, and will appreciate the importance of context (social, economic, political, and technological) in developing effective policies.
Leadership and Change - ASU
This undergraduate course focuses on the leader’s role in bringing about significant organizational and societal change with special attention to group and organizational behavior dynamics, establishing a vision, mobilizing and empowering individuals and groups, and assessing outcomes of the change and process in a variety of settings.
Public Management & Administration - ASU
This undergraduate course examines the context and role of the public manager and the development of the field of public administration.
Foundations of Program Evaluation II - ASU
Modern quantitative evaluation techniques are built around counterfactual analysis, a process of understanding how the world changes due to an intervention or program. This graduate course introduces students to the important concepts in research design and common quasi-experimental tools for causal analysis. Course is taught with R and GitHub.
