Teaching

The immense sense of fulfillment that I have drawn from teaching has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my academic career. Interacting with the brightest and curious minds of the next generation, has helped me grow as a researcher and a person. Along the way, I have also played my part in helping the students engage with the world in a critical self-reflexive manner, nurture transdisciplinary thinking, and cherish oft forgotten ideals like social equity in public policy and administration.
