Teaching

I teach substantive classes on comparative politics, democracy and political behavior, as well as methods classes (and workshops) on text analysis, webscraping, computational social science and data journalism. Below, you can find a list of my past and present courses. Some of my syllabi and course resources, e.g. for a 2020 Text Analysis Course or a no-math introduction to quantitative methods are also available via GitHub. If you are interested in my teaching evaluations, drop me an e-mail.
