I teach courses in Comparative Politics, Western Europe,
Russia,
Eastern
Europe, Introduction to Politics, Culture and Politics, and
Introduction to World Politics. My teaching and research
interests
are in the area of ethnic politics, identity, conflict, conflict
resolution
within an international context, and political/cultural transitions to
democracy and a market economcy in formerly authoritarian/totalitarian
states. My research has appeared in the Political Research
Quarterly,
Nationalism and Ethnic Politics, World Affairs, International Studies
Perspectives,
Annual Editions, and other professional journals along with book
chapters
in edited volumes. I am now working on a book project that
explores
the politicization of ethnic identity and its relationship to democracy
and on a project that examines political and cultural values among
Hmong-Americans.
My commitment as a teacher/scholar is to contribute to an understanding
of the cultural and value-laden dimensions of political life; political
behaviors represent complex patterns that are insufficiently explained
by traditional, but still important, economic and institutional
analyses.
Consequently, in this increasingly crowded and interdependent world, a
capacity to work with and among people of various social and cultural
backgrounds
is indispensable for student and academic alike.
