Teaching

My teaching strategy is focused on practice, and the development of transferable skills, particularly in connection with research. My interdisciplinary links with academic communities in Central Asian and China studies, as well as international studies and political economy, equip me with a wide range of perspectives and methods that I can apply to my teaching. Finally, my engagement and work with state and civil society stakeholders in the UK, US and Central Asia allows me to mentor students in terms of future employment and employable skills. I am comfortable teaching modules on Chinese and Central Asian politics and society, as well as disciplinary (Politics, International Relations and International/Global Political Economy) and methodological (quantitative, qualitative and research ethics) modules.
