Over the last few years I have gained experience teaching a variety of topics, and learnt about pedagogy through PGCert trainings and becoming a Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
In 2021, the LSESU Teaching Awards highly commended me for Exceptional Teaching in an Unprecedented Year. LSE’s Department of International Relations’ Class Teacher Awards also highly commended my contribution to teaching at LSE during the 2020-2021 Academic Year. During the same academic session, I was also nominated for LSESU Teaching Award for Excellent Feedback and Communication.
I have taught classes for following courses:
- IR100 – International Relations: Theories, Concepts and Debates (LSE)
- IR200 – International Political Theory (LSE)
- IR160 – The Middle East in Global Politics (LSE Summer School)
I have also developed courses on Introduction to International Relations, Identity in International Relations, Global History of International Society, and Global Conceptual History.
