I believe that students benefit most when they are actively engaged in their own learning. To that end, I often build my courses around in-class activities that range from students debating the best grand strategy for US foreign policy to re-enacting the UN Security Council debates about how to respond to the 1994 Rwanda genocide or re-creating the efforts of European diplomats to avoid the outbreak of World War I. Deep engagement through these kinds of activities can bring concepts and theories to life better than a lecture.
I work generally in the area of international political theory. My current interest is in the contribution of Catholic thinking to the development of ius post bellum principles.
