Teaching

My teaching focuses on labor relations, worker voice, and the changing organization of work. Through research, case analysis, bargaining simulations, and applied writing,  my courses examine how workers exercise individual and collective voice, how unions and other institutions represent workers, and how changes in employment relationships, organizational structures, and systems of worker representation expand or constrain workers’ influence over their working conditions.  I have taught undergraduate and graduate students at Cornell and MIT.

Courses at Cornell (ILR School)

• ILRGL 2050: Labor Relations — Spring 2021–present
  Core undergraduate course on the U.S. labor relations system, covering unions, collective bargaining, and the evolving landscape of worker representation, while also introducing international and comparative perspectives on labor relations

• ILRGL 2220: Writing Seminar — Employee Voice at Work — Spring 2023, Fall 2025
  A writing-intensive seminar examining employee voice through organizational behavior, industrial relations, and sociological perspectives. Students explore why workers speak up or remain silent, how organizational practices and institutions shape whose voices are heard, and how voice operates across workplace and national contexts. Through staged assignments, peer workshops, and an independent research project, students develop a substantive paper analyzing worker voice in practice. 

• ILRLR/ILRIC 9800: Workshop in Labor Relations / International and Comparative Labor — Fall 2022–Spring 2023
  Workshop on current research in labor relations and international and comparative employment.
