As an instructor, my goal is to provide students with the conceptual frameworks and analytical tools to comprehend the complexity of decision-making in democratic politics. I seek to familiarize students with the definitions of ideas, interests, and institutions and their importance for understanding the behavior of politicians and citizens. Because these concepts are often abstract, I rely on three tools to engage students in these topics: fiction, current events, and simulations based on real-life experiences. My full teaching philosophy statement is available upon request.
At Johns Hopkins University, I taught Democracy in Latin America. You can find the syllabus here.
I also taught an online course about Latin American Politics and Fiction at Espaço Rasgo. You can find the syllabus here (in Portuguese).
As a teaching assistant, I have collaborated in the instruction of courses about the Modern American Presidency, Democracy and Dictatorship, Introduction to Comparative Politics, and Politics of U.S. Public Policy.
