INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES
At the University of North Texas I have taught the following courses:
Graduate Seminar in Peace Research American Foreign Policy (Graduate and Undergrad.)
Problems in American Foreign Policy International Human Rights (Graduate and Undergraduate) Undergraduate Peace Studies American/Texas Politics (two semester sequence)
International Relations Honors American/Texas Government
Graduate Seminar on Human Rights Post-Conflict Truth and Reconciliation
In addition, I have given numerous special project courses on the topic of political research to both undergraduate and graduate students. The assumption under which I operate is that the best way to teach political research is by leading students through the entire process, step-by-step. Many of the papers that have come out of these courses were presented at conferences, and revised to become publications that I co-authored with those students.
I taught the following courses at William Penn College:
Contemporary Peace Issues The Politics of Terror
Comparative Politics (Developed World) Comparative Politics (Less Developed Countries)
Public Opinion International Relations and American Foreign Policy
Genocide and Politicide Interest Groups
Political Thought Congress and the Presidency
