Teaching Statement

Learning economics should be intellectually rigorous, fun and empowering. As a teacher, I'm excited to share the curiosity and powerful analytical tools which drive me as a researcher with my students. Economics offers unique frameworks and insights to anyone who wants to deeply understand the world. I have four main goals for teaching. First, I would like students to acquire the necessary analytical frameworks to critically think about basic economics issues. Second, students would learn to tell stories with data and view old debates with fresh eyes and scientific clarity. Third, my ideal classroom is a safe environment where students could make mistakes, fail, explore and have fun. Finally, learning should be inclusive and empowering, where students of diverse backgrounds are encouraged to speak up, interact, and bring in their unique perspectives.
