Teaching

Introduction to Statistics (syllabus)

My approach to teaching undergraduate introductory statistics combines a traditional overview of distributions, probability, and inference with an introduction to OLS and the statistical computing language R. It features hands-on applications of course concepts to recent data on economic inequality.

Urban Inequality (syllabus)

I center racial segregation while describing how cities are fundamentally important to economic activity and political dynamics in the United States. I use a problem-solving framework for this course. It builds toward a critical assessment of ideas for reducing racial and place-based inequality.

Politics of Inequality (syllabus)

This course covers explanations for rising economic inequality in the U.S. since the 1980s and explores how inequality is connected to politics. It distinguishes between factors that affect the economic prospects of households with high, middle, and low incomes. It shows that unique policies and political dynamics are relevant to different parts of of the income distribution, helping students to critically assess ideas for reducing economic inequality.
