Sharing knowledge with students and learning through discussions in the class room are some of the most rewarding aspects of academic life. 

I have designed and taught the courses  Migration and Human Development,   Mobility and Forced Migration,   Global Governance,   Asylum, Displacement, and Migration, and    Global Refugee Regimes, as well as two dozen research workshops on a host of migration, refugee, and development issues at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia Law School, The New School’s Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)’s School of International Studies.
​
In Spring 2020, I taught the first course in SIPA's innovative Global Immersion course format on Beyond the 'Refugee Crisis': Refugees in Turkey and Global Public Policy. For this class, students and I spent 10 days in Turkey to engage in a mix of classroom discussions, expert talks and site visits followed by four sessions back in New York.

On this site, I share a few insights, publications, and documents that I hope might be of use to other instructors.
