Teaching

I enjoy teaching and have been lucky enough to win a few teaching awards, e.g.:

  • The British International Studies Association-Higher Education Academy Award for Excellence in Teaching International Studies (the UK’s national IR teaching prize).
  • The Vice-Chancellor’s Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence (at the University of Surrey).

I currently lead two big modules: Security Studies and American Foreign Policy, as well as contributing teaching to a range of other modules, such as IR Theory and Research Methods.
