My teaching combines substantive engagement with the long-run development of societies and systematic training in empirical methods. I aim to equip students with both a broad understanding of historical trajectories — inequality, development, state formation, and institutional change — and the analytical tools needed to study these processes rigorously.
Across my courses, students learn to work with historical data, evaluate quantitative evidence, and apply causal reasoning to questions in economic history and political economy. A central objective is to show how careful empirical analysis can illuminate large structural transformations and persistent inequalities.
