At Harvard Kennedy School, I teach a courses on politics and policy in South Asia and the political economy of development in the Masters in Public Administration/International Development (MPA/ID) core. My teaching has been recognized with the “Dinner on the Dean” award at HKS. I try to instill analytical thinking, a broad view, substantive knowledge, intellectual curiosity, and context-sensitivity in my students (who have, in turn, taught me a great deal). I have also taught course modules at the Yale School of Management, Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs, and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Interested instructors will find links to recent syllabi and teaching cases.
