Courses

I teach courses on inequality, gender and politics, political behavior, American politics, political economy, public policy, quantitative research methods, experiments, and data science.  I have taught courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. I am particulalry excited about teaching interdisiplinary courses that cover topics of inequality, gender, discrimination, and political behavior with an emphasis on empirical (both quantitative and qualitative) social science research.

Select Evaluations from PhD Level Advanced Quantitative Methods Course:

"Annabelle helped make theoretical concepts concrete and was infinitely patient"

"Annabelle provided excellent feedback on course assignments which helped to improve understanding of course material and concepts. In addition, she was excellent at clarifying course concepts during section and office hours that may have been unclear during lecture. In many instances, Annabelle provided additional instruction that was instrumental in giving students an understanding of concepts necessary to complete assignments."


Teaching Experience at Yale:

I served as an Instructor (was the sole person responsible for the course material) and a Teaching Fellow for a variety of courses at Yale. Teaching Fellows do much more than simply grading - we teach new material or review material for 1-2 hours a week with up to 36 students.
