Teaching

   I consider teaching to be a central component of my academic career and   

   appreciate the opportunity to help form students into more analytical and 

   critical citizens.

I have taught courses since 2004 at both the undergraduate and master’s levels at the University of Southern California, Marquette University, El Colegio de México and ITESO University.

 

I currently lead a summer course in Mexico City in partnership with El Colegio de México titled: Urban Challenges Through the Lens of Mexico City. In the past, I led two study abroad courses in Mexico -together with ITESO- that concentrate on urban public policy and local economic development, with a large field-work component. Before joining Marquette, I taught courses in Development Theory and Policy, Mexican Economic History, and Public Finance.
